END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Playing around with negative power Mandelboxes and folding limits that are very small, zero or negative produces some very strange "murals" and thin sheets, but also tons of artifacting.  I tried with this one to incorporate the artifacting as part of the aesthetic, like the box is decaying, or being sucked into another dimension:

I found it interesting that on the very cusp of having a folding limit of 0 (ie.  almost always fold) and a tiny folding limit of 0.1, the mist from Mandelbulber's glow effect seems to pop into a solid, but tenuous lattice.

Anyway, hope you like...

Cheers man, much appreciated.  It did take quite a few weeks come to think of it.  That's the 8th iteration of parameters and fly-through viewpoints, and it took about 15 days to render at 1024x576 due to the ridiculously low DE step factor.
