Installed 0.9.0014 and now it's working.

Hi Tuğrul,

The file was made in GH 0.9.0014

but I think maybe the problem is caused by the version of Hoopsnake

what error do you get ?

I couldn't run mand3d on 0.9.0006.

Nice find Systemiq - power 4 does indeed seem to give some nice results!

Very nice and informative as expected from Tugrul.

Mand3d seems to converge better with power 4.

Power 4, step 5 :

Power 4, step ???,  different range:

Nice article, thanks for sharing!

One thing I find interesting about the Mandelbrot set is that it is just one 2D slice of a 4D object.

(http://www.relativitybook.com/CoolStuff/julia_set.html)

I've seen a few different ways of taking flat 3D slices, but something I tried a while back using Grasshopper that I think is a bit different from what has been done before is evaluating the set on the surface of a hypersphere and stereographically projecting back to flat 3d space.

There seems to be some interesting form emerging, and I'd love to see it in more detail, but it gets pretty heavy to compute in this way when you increase the resolution...

Anyway, here's the definition - would be interested to see if anyone has any ideas about how it could be taken further.
