Description This time, we're inside the Mandelbulb - this has to be one of my favourite shots. Just like the outside, the detail never ends.

Also see this preview, showing the full detail of the 7000x7000 pixel original:

Beautiful. I'm just starting with this program. Amazing!

Some Mandelbulbs are organic, some are mechanical, and a few look like vistas from "The City and the Stars" by Arthur C.Clark

Tried, but I got a message that the connection was improperly configured.


I also get scared by animated zoom-ins of mandelbulbs. The 2-D pattern produces no such fright.

wow great... that beautyful inner structures beat everything else in mother natures creations .....please! can you help me? ...i use mandelbulber 3d... unfortunatly i have no idea how to get inside oft the object ... turn the insidemode on and adjust the render limits to cut that thing in half... and then my pc will take days to render.... do i need a stronger pc to render the inside ..quadcore or something??????

You should try the Mandelbulber. It's a mandelbulb (and other 3D fractal) raytracer. It has built-in examples to help you figure out some of the settings, as in how to get inside the bulb.

hmm it seems there are some subtle rendering errors - check the horizontal lines and speckles

Haha, you've a good eye. Yeah, I noticed them too, and you can bet it's got something to do with my current method of evenly distributing points on a sphere to obtain the light ray directions.

Things can currently be remedied (at least converging to perfect) by simply adding more rays, but then I would need an 8-core

Here's a semi-interesting read:

In fact this whole sphere point even distribution problem is probably responsible for not having a proper 3D number space, and therefore for the 3D Mandelbrot being so difficult to find in the first place.
