Not really a tutorial, but a nice opportunity to understand a little bit about the phenotypic effects of various formulas and sliders in Mandelbulb 3D, using bits and pieces of my collection of Fractal Shorts.
The music you'll hear is "Crossroads Limiter" by Asura.

My trip through the Rhine Valley in Germany and the Morvan in France turned into a spiritual journey about death and loss through what appears to be Middle-Earth.
I combined Mandelbulb3D fractals with photogrammetry captures from scenery that I encountered.

Fractalicous 10 marks a decade since I published my first Fractal film on the internet. And what a decade it has been!
First of all, the community response has been overwhelming, warm and extremely encouraging. This has been the primary motivation for me to keep going into the depths in stead of staying at the surface. This meant that four years in I decided to quit my day job at a VFX house and for the last six of those years I’ve had the opportunity to live and breathe fractal art.
