Extract mathematical formula from Mandelbulb

great, the thread is really nice, and i just made a 2d ultrafractal variant of it, the folding is really nice and simple!!!

Can I see the 3D and 2D side by side?

It's my first post and shame that I can't follow the discussion because I have no idea what you guys are talking about: IFS, scape time, formulas and scripts

My background is in architecture, but I have no knowledge of programming, and my maths is rusty to say the least...

Oh, I never thought this community was so active!

Just navigate through the forums to discover btw a script is a sequence of assignments and expressions that contain a cycle, so that the computer can get a chaotic something from it... After some mangling with that data you get an image

A quick scan of the following pages will help with the terms I think:

Note that anything there discussed in 1 dimension or 2 is essentially extendable to 3 or more
