Description
Another curled JosLeys-Kleinian 3D Fractal together with two reflective shapes and a subtle volumetric "God rays" effect that radiates from the small perforated sphere on the right. First time I'm using this effect!

Background / Environment HDRI Texture thanks to Poly Haven:

Mandelbulber 2.27 OpenCL MC Multi GPU render
Fractal formula: JosLeys-Kleinian V2

Image size: 4K - 3840x2160

Some Post Processing in PS

Thanks for watching!

How to use the Basic Settings:

Note: The Basic Settings are just a starting point, it must be finalized.

- Load the settings in Mandelbulber
- The settings are supplied without materials and textures, you must use your own or those supplied with Mandelbulber. Materials should be applied to the fractal, plane and primitives.
- Also use a background texture to greatly enhance environment lighting and reflections.
- To speed up rendering (but with lower final image quality) you can disable Monte Carlo algorithm and turn on Ambient Occlusion. In this case depth of Field focus distance and lighting setup must be retouched.
