This is exact the same motive as Claw of the Monster published for about one years ago. The difference is that instead of the Level Set Method (LSM), the more refined Continuous Potential Method (CPM) is used.
The structures of the Cubic Mandelbrot set to the left belongs to the coalescing sets M3 = M4, and to the right to the coalescing sets M2 = M5.
Software: Ultra Fractal. Color routine: Continuos Potential Method (CPM). Formula: Heptic Parameterspace3 in the sp3-module written by my dear friend Greenseng here at DeviantART. All his modules, as well as mine can be downloaded here.
Really glad you like the colors You've run my parameter file Yeah, I mostly I use layers in order to display different subsets in higher parameter spaces as in this case In Claw of the Monster3 only one layer is used, However the subsets are yet displayed See the Artist's Comments under that deviation
That may often be a good thing. Among many UF artists there seems to be a contest regarding which one who use most layers. I've sometimes checked out such a parameter file, and then found that one or two layers may be deleted without making any difference on the picture
Lol. "My fractal is better because... it has more layers." What? XD The number of layers don't count as much as what you do with them. Besides, most of the time I find I don't even need them They can do some cool stuff sometimes, though. But the whole point is that the fractals are cool by themselves
Well I've seen that opinion on one occasion, so maybe wrong to generalize But as UF is the only software (what I know) where you can use layers and transformations, there is a big tendency to often overuse those facilities. Sometimes I see different unrelated fractals mixed which I don't think that very awesome. But as no auxiliary software is used, they are still "raw fractals" But that's my very personal opinion, which I mostly don't mention But for you.. We seem to share most opinions
I know you don't use layers often, but it worked out beautifully!!
