Description

Ultra Fractal has several different Mandelbulb algorithms. These are very complex structures, and any of you who have worked with them know that the patience of Job is required because the variables are legion and you need a mini-Cray to speed up computation time. Most publicly available applications concentrate on highly resolved, ultra-real, futuristic renderings. Sort of like Star Trek sets. I love them and have spent hours marveling at the talent rising to meet the occasion. As one would expect, Renderosity has abundant genius regularly creating new and marvelous worlds using Mandelbulb applications. It is clear to me, however, that these beautiful new fractal structures have unlimited potential for creative applications not yet envisioned. I am intrigued by this potential and am currently exploring new alternatives for creating art forms using these new structures. I use the plural because in addition to Mandelbulb, there is also Juliabulb (the sky in this image) and a variety of others. Today’s offering is an example of one of them. I hope you like it.

Outstanding work!!! Stan i have been very impressed by your offerings up to now, BUT today's offering takes things to a new dimension. I know i love the UF program, but the more i see of what you are able to coax out of it the more i realize i have just been scratching the surface of it.
