Mandel machine, mandelbrot set
This was submitted in the fractal art competition of this year:
http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=17483(I wonder why the page is so wide.)
This is roughly an S made up of 3 different shapes, as obtained by performing 3rd degree evolution. The 3 types of shapes are circles, stripes/rows and trees. For this to be possible within the current zoom limit of mandel machine, I had to come up with a more efficient way of zooming. I saved zoom depth by using the decorations around the main mandelbrot set to morph with, instead of embedded julia sets. Nearby embedded julia sets lie twice as deep, so this saves a factor 2 in total zoom depth. The result is that everything in the image is connected without any thin lines. This S doesn't really contain shapes, it's rather made up of shapes that are connected to the surroundings everywhere. They would easily blend in with the background if the coloring was not suitably chosen.
While this render is pushing the limits of what mandel machine can do, it's only a glimpse of what kind of variety exists in the mandelbrot set. I went up from 1 to 2 to still just 3 different shapes in an S and already I can allow only a few morphings per shape for it to be feasible.
The depth is possibly a record again. It's deeper than my image Baby Monster which was at a depth of 2^6900. It must be said that Baby Monster is much more extreme because of the high iteration counts.
