New here... hello!

Just started exploring the mandelbulb on my own, using Subblue:s "Mandelbulb ray tracing plugin for Photoshop, AfterEffects and QuartzComposer": http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-implementation/mandelbulb-ray-tracing-plugin-for-photoshop-aftereffects-and-quartzcomposer/

It works great even on my old MacBook Pro...

Experimented yesterday with a degree Pi Mandelbulb, hoping it would reveal a mystery, but it din´t

Anyway, here it is:

A bit bigger versions here:

by degree phi you mean (r,theta,phi)^phi ?

Looks very nice

Like a planet of a super odd flower garden

Tanks!

That might be what I mean ;-) Must admit my low understanding in the maths behind the bulb, I am beginning to learn ;-)

But the "standard" mandelbulb is of degree 8, (r,theta,phi)^8) ?
This is of degree 3.1415..

That's how mathematical I can be at the moment....

Oh!

So, it's a degree PI Mandelbulb

be careful

Pi $\pi$
Phi $\phi$

Quite a difference

Well, anyway, a nice one

Btw, what was the unsolved mystery ?

It's very unlikely that this would show a 42 all of a sudden ;P

Though Maybe you're not that much away
Fractals occur just about everywhere in nature, so it could be that fractals in general include some kind of key to life, universe and everything

Considering that nature is based on rather simple-ish formulae which are iterated over and over again (each time step an other iteration), just with very complex possible interactions of a huge set of such simple formulas, it's actually very likely that this is true at least to some extend

By the degree of (pi) mandelbulb, it looks great because of the mystery of  old artifacts. I'm agreeing that it was an old flower garden, that has various Fake Rocks at the layer. I really like this plug in for Photoshop.

Well, I just found a Julia-Duck in this power PI (!) mandelbulb, THAT it´s VERY CLOSE to 42!

You said it!
I really believe that, or at least hope that we someday will find the "42" in a formula, and fractals is a good bet i guess...
And surprisingly I now know where real life fruit-baskets come from:
