Space Lotus
Here’s a followup hi-res rendering suitable for a desktop wallpaper of the ‘Space Lotus’ variant of the Buddhabrot. This is simply replacing the constant ‘2’ with ‘-2’ in the y-value iteration formula. This is essentially all I manipulated over time to create the Buddhabrot Cycle animation. I created the pulsating fluctuations by using a sine-wave function with an ever increasing magnitude, until it explodes and then cools down linearly to -2. Then I just cooled the RGB exposure thresholds to do the funky fade-out at the end. When the value is right at -2, you get this gorgeous flower image:
Dazzling and inspiring. I’ve got it as wallpaper already. Thanks!
Aaron,
Hi. I’ve emailed you several times in past months at various IDs I’ve seen on your old research papers, etc. I’ve gotten no reply. I’d like to discuss some entrepreneurial opportunities with you. – Bill

Hi Aaron,
Here is an interesting link to a 3D mandlebrot object.

I hope it is new to you. The renders are awesome!
