Yes, and #2 looks like a Kaleidoscopic IFS fractal, and #3 is a 2D Ducks fractal!

nice, and impressive rendering for just 1k, for sure, but you know i am in a demo scene group as well, nuance - demolishing the scene since ... - and they tend to laugh at me when i want to make a pure fractal demo, and here you see why, it is because those people dont know what real power is hidden below the simple formulas, seldom you see julia morphs, and even more seldom you see interesting mandelbox morphes, but even this would be as easy as to increment a single memory value ( 2.. 8 bytes at max ) or reading from a sine table ( sine functions are available on gpu, and on cpu nowadays from the start ) to make the fractal more interesting, they tend to say, it is boring, and does not feel interesting, then i showed them the nice kali lifeforms that i featured in the tvshow, and still no reaction, it would be a vast lot of work to create a stunning 3d demo, because animation pathes need to be created, formulas set up, coloring fine tuned ... but i would love doing a 3d demo, but i just dont have the time for hardcoding stuff, but i would like to manage somehow the creation of such a demo ... perhaps with some people from the forums .ö... ?!? we could release it under the label "fractalforums coders" or "fractal fanatics" or ... i dunno ... just lets start something, and i think a 64k demo would fit perfectly ....to achieve this "AHA" effect when watching a 64k demo with endless stuff!
