Title: multiparameter mandelbulbs Post by: Tater on January 31, 2011, 04:57:37 AM I have been advocating this for a while, and it appears that someone else is doing it too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTkadMdQu-I&feature=related The idea is simple: include additional parameters to scale the exponents of phi, theta and r differently. The simplest version would be something like x=r^n sin (p phi) cos (q theta) y=r^n cos (p phi) cos (q theta) z=r^n cos (p phi) You can scale the powers of r, phi and theta differently for each of x, y and z also. Here are my old videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE9eRYfwEzA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Zjhz-UmB8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71aCac_Ruyo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1MJwlwoLY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_du2Wa8stmU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPFmWQ5Jk6A I don't want to be bothering everybody with this, but there is a lot of variety that is not being explored by keeping the parameter of the vector l;ength and the rotation angles in lockstep.
