orbital coloring extended

[M Benesi]

  Extended to next iteration:

 I took the values of x, y, and z, iterated them one more time, took their total magnitude and used this to assign colors.  I also used rXmodec coloring, but with +1 iteration.
z^2 coloring and formula, complex triplex (bulb variation), "elephant valley" location:

Used z^3 for the coloring iteration of this z^2 complex triplex (Mandelbulb variation):
  
same image, z^2 for last iteration of color (note that the whole thing looks pretty cool, I picked all locations chaotically):

this is a z^5 with z^2 coloring:


9th order coloring, 9th order, rXmodec coloring:

9th order *2, formula 2 coloring mode (I think):


9th order with 5th order coloring:

one more iteration:

You have definitely found something here Matt. The detail and the lighting just seem to jump out at the observer and for organic structures I have not seen anything else like it. Well done!

this looks great, a totally different feeling
