Title: Degree π (pi) mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: KRAFTWERK on December 17, 2009, 09:47:45 AM New here... hello! :)
Just started exploring the mandelbulb on my own, using Subblue:s "Mandelbulb ray tracing plugin for Photoshop, AfterEffects and QuartzComposer": http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-implementation/mandelbulb-ray-tracing-plugin-for-photoshop-aftereffects-and-quartzcomposer/ (http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-implementation/mandelbulb-ray-tracing-plugin-for-photoshop-aftereffects-and-quartzcomposer/) It works great even on my old MacBook Pro... Experimented yesterday with a degree Pi Mandelbulb, hoping it would reveal a mystery, but it dinīt ;) Anyway, here it is: (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2529/4191676643_6c36cce3da.jpg) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/4191676875_67f69dc9c6.jpg) A bit bigger versions here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2529/4191676643_6c36cce3da_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/4191676875_67f69dc9c6_b.jpg Regards to all you geniouses on this forum!

Looks very nice :) Like a planet of a super odd flower garden :) Title: Re: Degree π mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: KRAFTWERK on December 17, 2009, 03:03:06 PM by degree phi you mean (r,theta,phi)^phi ? Looks very nice :) Like a planet of a super odd flower garden :) Tanks! :) That might be what I mean ;-) Must admit my low understanding in the maths behind the bulb, I am beginning to learn ;-) But the "standard" mandelbulb is of degree 8, (r,theta,phi)^8) ???? This is of degree 3.1415.. That's how mathematical I can be at the moment.... :( Title: Re: Degree π mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: kram1032 on December 17, 2009, 03:09:20 PM Oh!
So, it's a degree PI Mandelbulb :) be careful ;) Pi Phi Quite a difference :) Already wondered :) Well, anyway, a nice one :) Btw, what was the unsolved mystery ? :) Title: Re: Degree π mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: KRAFTWERK on December 17, 2009, 03:12:43 PM Oooooooooooooooooops!
I will correct!!! :) Quote Btw, what was the unsolved mystery ? Life, universe and everything? :P Title: Re: Degree π (pi) mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: kram1032 on December 18, 2009, 04:41:23 PM It's very unlikely that this would show a 42 all of a sudden ;P
Though Maybe you're not that much away :) Fractals occur just about everywhere in nature, so it could be that fractals in general include some kind of key to life, universe and everything ;) Considering that nature is based on rather simple-ish formulae which are iterated over and over again (each time step an other iteration), just with very complex possible interactions of a huge set of such simple formulas, it's actually very likely that this is true at least to some extend ;) Title: Re: Degree π (pi) mandelbulb - Exploding chicken Post by: Meng18 on December 28, 2009, 05:44:15 AM By the degree of (pi) mandelbulb, it looks great because of the mystery of old artifacts. I'm agreeing that it was an old flower garden, that has various Fake Rocks (http://www.newprocontainers.com/rockafiller-faux-rocks) at the layer. I really like this plug in for Photoshop.

I really believe that, or at least hope that we someday will find the "42" in a formula, and fractals is a good bet i guess...
