Title: Juliabulb with "octahedral" transform ~ sphereflake? Post by: msltoe on June 07, 2010, 03:06:11 AM It seems that the standard juliabulb formula with the following "octahedral" transform leads to a sphereflake-like fractal. The Mandelbrot, version, as always, is not so pretty. iterate on: if (x*x<y*y) {d=x;x=y;y=d;} if (y*y<z*z) {d=y;y=z;z=d;} if (x*x<z*z) {d=x;x=z;x=d;} <standard mandelbulb order 2> x=x-0.8; y=y;z=z; and you get the following, which looks a lot like the sphereflake fractal, but not quite...

Indeed very inviting! Title: Re: Juliabulb with "octahedral" transform ~ sphereflake? Post by: DarkBeam on March 13, 2011, 12:14:02 AM :o ASTOUNDING! Yeehaw, this is marvellous indeed |
