Prompt:
A highly detailed, abstract 3D fractal rendering resembling a Mandelbulb variant with hyperbolic deformations, featuring a central orange bulbous orb surrounded by swirling, fluid-like lobes in shades of blue, pink, and yellow with iridescent, reflective surfaces and gradient transitions. The fractal is defined iteratively in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) for a point \(\mathbf{c} = (x_0, y_0, z_0)\), starting with \(\mathbf{z}_0 = \mathbf{0}\) or \(\mathbf{z}_0 = \mathbf{c}\), and iterating \(\mathbf{z}_{k+1} = r \cdot \vec3\left( \frac{e^{\cos \theta} - e^{-\cos \theta}}{\pi} \cos \phi, \cos \theta \sin \phi, \cos \theta \right) + \vec3\left( \frac{e^{p_x} - e^{-p_x}}{\pi} p_x, \frac{e^{p_y} - e^{-p_y}}{\pi} p_y, \frac{e^{p_z} - e^{-p_z}}{\pi} p_z \right)\), where \(r = \|\mathbf{z}_k\|\), \(\theta = \arccos\left( \frac{z_k \cdot z}{r} \right)\), \(\phi = \atantwo(z_k.y, z_k.x)\), and \(\mathbf{p}\) is a vector parameter like \(\mathbf{c}\). For higher powers n (e.g., 8), scale to \(r^n\), \(n \theta\), \(n \phi\). Iteration halts if \(r > 4\) or after 50 max iterations. Render using ray marching with distance estimator \(DE(\mathbf{q}) = 0.5 \cdot \frac{\log r \cdot r}{dr}\), surface normals via gradients, Phong/PBR shading with reflections, ambient occlusion, and coloring via orbit traps or escape time mapped to hues (orange for low iterations, blue-pink gradients for higher). Apply post-processing for anti-aliasing, depth-of-field, and glow to achieve a dreamy, metallic sheen, viewed zoomed into the central orb with asymmetric swirling arms.
