Title: The Triple Helix Atop Mount Septibrot Post by: The Rev on November 16, 2010, 08:44:47 AM (http://nocache-nocookies.digitalgott.com/gallery/4/3010_16_11_10_8_41_16_2.jpeg)
Mandelbulb 3D I've seen quite a few double spirals, but this is the first triple I've come across. Anybody found any quads?

This is near -1.751231251861065 + 0.01083474098368455i in the Mandelbrot set. Any of the buds with n-armed stars has n-armed spirals in the valleys where it joins the next bigger bud/cardioid. And of course the order 2 Mandelbulb has them too, when sliced right. Title: Re: The Triple Helix Atop Mount Septibrot Post by: The Rev on November 16, 2010, 08:34:19 PM Right on!

This is my 3D response to your post. Thanks for the coordinates. It made it much easier to find in M3D. Also, I must have had a brainfart, because I had a couple of images in my own gallery of spirals with many more than 3 or 4 arms. The Elephant Valley is chock full of them.

It's an alien mothership! No, it's a Mandelbulb! No, it's ... a thunderstorm?

Title: Re: The Triple Helix Atop Mount Septibrot Post by: The Rev on November 20, 2010, 12:51:14 AM My first thought when I saw that was, "My God, that is the most badass fractal image I've ever seen!" Took me a minute to realize it was a photo. And, yeah, it does look like the love child of V-ger from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and a mandlbulb attacking a rural farming community. LOL.
