What's a bulbox?

Mandelbulb3D formula (a old one by Jesse). For some reason nobody seems to use it, probably because it's a little weird - but can give cool fractals! wink

Code:
A hybrid of a sine power 2 bulb and the amazing box, the 3d vector length decides which formula is used:
If it is bigger than 'Box/Bulb R threshold' the amazing box is used, else if smaller than '..threshold 2' the sine bulb,
inbetween both formulas will be interpolated.  Make the second threshold a little smaller than the first for more smoothness.

 grin Yes, and it troubles DE too... That's why it's unpopular. Also, shapes are very strange - but in some conditions they look pretty. Azn
