Description
A "sliced" fractal using the formula T>Blockify V2 in the second slot with Hybrid mode enabled.

Mandelbulber v2.24 OpenCL Multi-GPU render
Fractal formula used: Pseudo Klenian - Mod 4 + T>Blockify V2

Post processing in PS

The formula T>Blockify V2 creates interesting effects, however, iterations must be optimized to avoid excessive rendering slowdown. In this case I set the "Stop at Iteration" from the default 250 to 1.

To render perfectly sharp and defined edges I set the Anti Aliasing at 45 although I think that 9 is enough.
To further enhance the small details I enabled the Rendering engine>Advanced quality setting with customized values.

Note: The formula T>Blockify V2 is experimental. In future versions it may generate different results or not work at all.

Thanks for watching!

Here is the formula, after loaded in Mandelbulber go to Effects>Ray-tracing>Ambient occlusion and set the path to the lightmap2.jpg image supplied with the program:
