Welcome to Fractal Forums

Hi everyone. I am new here and in the process of diving into the amazing world of mandelbulbs over the last few days.

I am especially attracted to very "straight-lines" kind of functions which produce the appearance of heavily ornamented buildings. For example I like what Graham Symmons does very much (example below):

I have done myself a couple of renders that I like (parameters at the end of post)

(https://s22.postimg.org/xwshj300x/mb3.png)(https://s4.postimg.org/c9s4dvovx/Menger_Koch_x3_Log_Y_Angkor_2.png)

In the first case, the function is _LogY + MixPinski4ex (alternate) and in the second: MengerKoch + _LogY (alternate).

Do you know of other function combinations which give the same kind of result ?

Many thanks to the Mandlebulb 3D team. They are doing an outstanding job. :)

The original combo is Sierphilbert then ReciprocalN (where N can be X Y Z... :) )
But your combos are also cool
Remember to use rotations. Just use multiples of 90 degrees (90 180 or -90) and/or flips.

Some combo's I think would be good for this

aboxvs sierph sierph _reciprx3b
_addC _amazingbox AboxplatinumB Sierpinski3
Amazing Box Menger3 _Folding1 _FlipXZc
MengerIFS _sinY
_invbisp reciprocalZ3b MengerIFS ABoxSphereOffset4D

Good luck and have fun:)

Thanks a lot guys. I will definitely try all this ;D

One question regarding rotations: are the angles in the function parameters in degrees or in radians ?

If I used the word "degrees"... ;)
