CUBEJ2
An sequential zoom exploration of a Cube Julia Set.
Originals all rendered in 768x480 24-bit at count 16384. Count values reduced
after rendering to enhance coloring. Deepest zooms are shown with 4096 colors.
P00 to P07 and P08 to P15 are identical zoom sequences, with different coloring
schemes applied by FractalPro.
P00 to P07 shows the 24-bit images in RED shading (RED is dominant)
P08 to P15 shows the same 24-bit images in BLUE shading (BLUE is dominant).
This exploration is into a Cube Julia Set which originates deep in the main
cleft of the Cube Mandelbrot Set. It yields a billowy object with detail in
its 'corners' only. Like the JULIA4 set, the detail areas reveal an astounding
wealth of beautiful structure with only a total magnification of 128!
Part of the reason for showing the same set of eight images two different ways
was to show you the completely different aesthetic effect induced by a mere
shuffling of the bit planes of a 24-bit image (that's all that's different
between these sets).
The first set of eight shows a red and metallic gray techno-aesthetic color
scheme I've used for wrapping on objects in NewTek's LightWave 3D rendering
program.
I also wanted to specifically show the BLUE shaded set (P08 to P15) because
it alone yields a 'black hole' with surrounding two 'planet' stars linked
to the center by what looks like a group of shimmery blue force field lines.
This is one of my favorite of all images. I originally rendered P11 at a
count of only 4096 and that left a small black circle at the center - and
I named it THE BLACK HOLE. Here it is filled in by raising the rendering
count to 16384, but the effect is equally beautiful. The images beyond
P11 show that the center itself has gorgeous shimmery radiating blue
'force beams'.
