Quarternions

[fractalrebel]

Quaternions don't have to have a whipped cream or pulled taffy appearance. With appropriately chosen parameters the interior is hollow and full of interesting structure. A slice through the middle opens up a whole new world. Consider the following Julia quaternion which has been sliced along the x-y plane:

When you cut in half the mandelbulb, you also get nice old school fractals surrounded by whipped cream:

Very cool Julia Mandelbulb cuts!

i love the second one of the last 2 most, nice 3d spiral !

Stunning!  When you say "madelbulb," what is it, specifically?  (What method, what power, etc?)

The "whipped cream" looks a lot like the surface of this: http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery/0/141_02_08_09_4_15_15.jpg

Hi,

The images I posted here were generated using exactly the same formula as in the image you mention, cut in half, zoomed in seahorse valley, with a higher iteration count, and a coloring based on lighting + iterations count.
