The Confusion Machinehttp://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=5293Made with Mandelbulb 3D v1.68.
This is a deep zoom (with 90 degree anti-clockwise spin) into one of the small "clusters" to the right of the central "blob" in the
Heart Of The Machine image.
Zoom at this point is set to 686000 (the apparent maximum), with an FOVy of 3.25. I had to drop the raystep multiplier down and crank the Smooth Normals and Stepcount up to eliminate noise and get a smooth image.
Parameters for this smaller version as follows; please note this took about 15 minutes to render on a quad core...

The 4800x3600 pixel version (
available here) shows a kind of light fabric texture over the bottom and some other parts of the image, which appears to "flow" uniformly and independently of the main textures. Is that a sign that we're reaching the limit of the zoom?
