After two months of search for some errors in the linear approximation implementation, I *FINALLY* found that one typo, which caused bad images at deep zoom levels.
It's sooo much better now.
Mandelbulb: The Unravelling of the Real 3D Mandelbrot Fractal
The original web page describing the development of a 3D equivalent to the Mandelbrot set.
#Fractalfriday
I updated my #Shadertoy #fractal explorer. Link: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/33sSRf
It now supports skewing the C-plane using a quad of four draggable points. The coefficients 'a' and 'b' can now also changed by the mouse. To show the points, simply hold the space bar.
Here is a video which demonstrates that.
The formula is \(z_{n+1}=z_n^2*\frac{z_n-a}{z_n-b}+c\)
where a and b are the blue points in the video.
Not really an example of #photography today. #math is more like it:

These turned out quite nice, I think. Guess I need a 4k monitor now. 🚀

Vintage-Style Map of the Mandelbrot Set via Kottke [Shared]
Bill Tavis designed this lovely vintage-style map of the familiar fractal shape, the Mandelbrot set. He is selling a poster version of the map, starting at the very reasonable price of $24. I don’t usually highlight the price on this sort of thing, but an unauthorized seller on Amazon was selling poor-quality counterfeits of the map and even though it wasn’t his fault, Tavis offered to replace any of the crappy maps for free. Great map, and apparently a great human who made it.

I've released the first version of complexitty: a simple #Mandelbrot set explorer for the #terminal -- it's the successor and replacement for `textual-mandelbrot`. More features to come.
Decagon (fractal version)
\(z_{n+1}=fold(z_n)^2+c\)
where fold is a generalized absolute value function. A complex number has two components: a real and an imaginary part.
If we take the absolute value of one of these parts, we can interpret this as a fold in the complex plane. For example, |re(z)| causes a fold of the complex plane around the imaginary axis, which means that the left half ends up on the right half. If we do this for the imaginary component |im(z)|, we fold the complex plane around the real axis which means that the bottom half ends up on the top half.
These two operations are quite similar, because the imaginary fold is just like the real fold of the plane, except that it was previously rotated 90 degrees (z * i). But what if we rotate the plane by an arbitrary number of degrees?
An arbitrary rotation of the complex plane can be expressed as rot(z, radians) = z * (cos(radians) + sin(radians) * i), where radians encodes the rotation.
The image here is produced, by rotating the plane exactly five times, and folding the imaginary part each time.
I found this algorithm in the Fractal Formus under the name “Correction for the Infinite Burning Ship Fractal Algorithm”.
It can be seen as a generalization of the burning ship obtained by folding the complex plane twice with a rotation of 90 degrees, i.e. folding both the real and the imaginary part.

Discovered something in @piko's #Mandelbrot workshop, which I hadn't seen before!
For each number in the complex plane c, start with x = 0, calculate x' = x^2 + c, and repeat this calculation n times!
If the result is then a+bi, draw the color (a, b, 0) for that pixel!
Here's the result for n = 1, 2, 3, ...:

Wondering if there's a continuous version?
