2nd order renders

Hi,
Just to show some fractal details in the 2nd order version.

And this very strange zoom (at the end, look at the black shapes):

nice

What happened to the third one? It looks like haunted O.o

Incredible fantastic and beautiful. It appears to be all there at some level as there are forms recognizable in the 2d found in your 3d renderings. The black clouds are so like the black clouds in interstellar space in their effect of obscuring light from stars.

I think the black clouds are strange artifacts. The view should be a standard Mandelbrot as the Mandelbulb is cut in it's middle. This is strange because as far as I remember, in the 2nd half of the animation I do not change any parameter except the camera distance. Notice how the black shapes "come" from the border of the Mandelbrot set. I is obvious in the middle of the animation.
