This is the same mandy as in Figure 6 in my article 22) Rotations in 4D-space [link] in my Chaotic series [link] . The motive also occur at the cubic part of my site [link] as “3) The birth of the mystery in the cave” [link] . The deviation Dark Flames from my Sword [link] is the spike of this mandy.

Magnification of a 2D-slice of the four dimensional cubic parameter space using the standard parameterizing z -> z^3 - 3a^2 z + b, critical points z = +a (making the set M+) and z = -a (making the set M-).

*a_real = 0.6
*a_imag = 0
*b_real = #pixel (horizontal)
*b_imag = #pixel (vertical)

Only M+ plotted, the motive being entirely inside M-.

Ultra Fractal, formula Cubic Parameterspace3 in the sp3-module written by my dear friend Stig Pettersson, Greenseng here at DeviantART. All his modules, as well as mine can be downloaded from [link]

More info about Cubics can be found at my Cubic Tutorial [link] and the "cubic" articles in my Chaotic series [link]

Below the parameter file. Play and have fun
