I hope everyone had a wonderful summer! As usual, I’ve been busily killing idle CPU cycles with a multitude of sloooooooow-rendering animations, some of which I hope to actually complete this year.

Like many Mandelbulb3D artists these days, I’ve discovered the fun in a freaky formula: The Amazing Surface. If you can imagine taking a sheet of paper and a dividing it up logarithmic-ally, then twisting and warping all the subdivided sections, you might begin to get an idea of what this formula does. Personally, I’m still wrapping my mind around it.
