Title: Human faces in the Mandelbox
Post by: homporgo on January 09, 2011, 04:29:46 AM
Hey everyone!

I just wonder if anyone found human like shapes in the mandelbulb/mandelbox?
In a hybrid box I found a whole field of human head like shapes!!
And they are all smiling...  :D  (except one)

Does it mean something?
How the heck is it even possible???
Or maybe I just spent too much time with this program? lol

The last one is especially nice in my opinion, however I see no faces [at least no human ones, I kind of see a cave troll.]  Maybe you should go outside.  Or maybe I should. :hmh:

i don't really see the faces (almost), but each person's brain is uniquely 'tuned' to recognize various form combinations as face-like.
To get a universally recongizable face-form the important parts are symmetry and ratio. If you have any two same size objects aligned horizontally at the top 3/4 inside an object roughly 4x the size, it looks like a head with 2 eyes. Add a curve or even a line (or anything) below that and it's automatically a mouth. As long at the elements have the right symmetry and proportions.

Here's a face-like (or actually like a head and torso w/ breasts) render of a reflective spherical basin
(http://miqel.com/images_1/fractal_math_patterns/wada-reflection-basin/wada-basin-fractals021.jpg)

and one that appears distinctly humanoid.
(http://miqel.com/images_1/fractal_math_patterns/wada-reflection-basin/wada-basin-fractals9.jpg)

i wish i knew more about these images. i found them online in 1998 and the site is looong gone. Neat experiments in deep zooms of differently constructed wada basins, and finding many organic forms.

Human faces in the Mandelbox

Do you mean like this: 

Here's the very first image I got from Mandelbulb 3D:

Nice one Sockratease! With the eyes & mouth it's almost creepy!
here's are 2 more i found in a scale 2 last night

Hi all
Nice fun idea for a thread!
I found the face of the Mandelbulb Queen in the middle of this detail of a mandelbulb made with Visions of Chaos...

(http://lariphotos.free.fr/fractales/queeninpit.jpg)

Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer the shape transforms and the face disappears when you zoom in.

What is freaky is that the Queen appeared in a zoom into this image, which I had called the Mandelbulb King:

great pictures guys!!

Power 8 that queen find is very interesting!
I found that too, if I zoom closer to the faces then its became less recognizable.

BrutalToad and Miqel its surprising you dont see it, yeah each brain is different.


Yesterday I started to more explore this box and I found that its made of this heads in almost every part, no matter what zoom is used.

(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1646/28764118.jpg) (http://img407.imageshack.us/i/28764118.jpg/)

Looks like the 31st century cathedrals might use these faces on the exterior instead of the angels.

Of course, I forgot my avatar here which is a power 2 mandelbulb with low iteration made with Visions of Chaos and looks like a skull of an alien race.

Variations on the same formula can be seen here:

Love the weird aztec look and colouring on that MengerPigs one.

Post by: reallybigname on January 19, 2011, 09:29:49 PM
Thanks, twinbee.    Here's another one, and while its not exactly human, I think its anthropomorphic enough to put here.  The strange things is that I made it while listening to a podcast about demons.  I called it "Dark Lord".

Here's another.

Human nature help us see faces in everything - nothing magical, though it points out the Mandelboxe's universality.


Title: Re: Human faces in the Mandelbox

Nothing magical?  I beg to differ...
I think its important to remember that we humans, like all life forms, are also fractals that came from math.  As the complexity increases in our formulas, we are bound to find things that seem more and more magical.  What we need is a living fractal that can change itself.

maybe it's not "human", but still this creature's got a face:

You mean like a self-transforming machine elf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_elf)?  :dink:


I found this inside a mandelbox, scale -1.5, yesterday; applied a bit of gimp to accentuate the colors of the teeth (and neck). Rendered in mandelbubler 0.98.
