This is the Mandelbulb Set. A true 3D fractal. This is my first publication of a 3D fractal. There is lots of cool 3D fractal artwork out there, but I just found there isn't many clean high-resolution renders of the basic fractals. So I went ahead and rendered it in 8k, so I could explore a little for myself. 8k is a somewhat ridiculous resolution at the current time, I probably won't do it again. I hope you enjoy it.
There is no such thing as a 3D Mandelbrot Set. (There is a 4D quaternion one, but it is only as interesting as the 2D version) That's because there is no 3D equivalent of complex numbers. However many attempts have been made to create one, the Mandelbulb is probably the most well known. This is actually the "8th power" Mandelbulb which is considered the standard one. It displays stretching and squishing in places, much like some of the non-analytic 2D fractals (Burning Ship, Celtic, Etc).
Please note: If you search YouTube for "Mandelbulb" you will mostly get fractal artwork that is not the Mandelbulb fractal, rather videos made with software of the same name. (Not used to create this video). Some nice vids out there.
Thank-you to my supporters on Patreon.
This video will be available for Patreons to download in the coming days, which will have a higher bitrate. You can also use these visuals on your own channel if you are a member of my Patreon page. patreon.com/mathstown
