Not so deep Mandelbrot zoom, final magnification is only 1.2e111
I am very pleased with the result, one of the best I made I think.
By exceeding the bailout value to 100 (I always thought 2 was a holy value not to be changed) and use the smoothing function
log(log (|Z[n]|)) / log (2)
the edges are almost not visible at all!
Even the unzoomed Mandelbrot shape is in it self beautiful with this coloring!

Thanks also to Chillheimer for the inspiration of reverse color cycling, which makes the colors look like they are fixed.
The arrow shaped spikes looks sometimes like they go through some liquid metallic matter.

Whenever I get access to my site I will put new versions available.
Also KFMM is improved.
(some edge like lines are visible though, probably since I use 24 bits when KFMM is selecting codec. But on my machine I don't have any 32-bit codecs)

Wow, this one is extremely boggling-woggling shape morphing. But still kinda pleasant to watch, cuz of the smoothness.

Higher framerate would in my opinion be welcome, to add to the smoothness.

 

 

wow, are you experimenting with pauldels waving colors ?! the color effect is really stunning because it gives so much movement to this static object, and furthermore, your choice of music is much more better

Thanks
This is just random colors, merged with dark and light colors on interval. I never understood Pauldelbrots coloring method

Yeah I am also using sinus to smooth colors from one color to the next.
I read his description and it was mentioning beizer, of which I do not have any knowledge.
But I just read on Beizer curves on wikipedia and it doesn't look so difficult.
But maybe filling the color table with sinus waves would give an interesting result, it's definitely worth a test
