Buddhabrot Classic

A classic Buddhabrot rendering occupying 90% of the dynamic range per pixel and channel at 16 bit at a total resolution of 25000x25000 (625 Megapixels).

“Classic” refers here to the fact that the red, green and blue channels had max iteration values of 5000, 500, and 50 respectively (which is the way that Melinda Green initially discovered).

The Buddhabrot is the probability distribution over the trajectories of points that escape the Mandelbrot fractal. Its name reflects its pareidolic resemblance to classical depictions of Gautama Buddha, seated in a meditation pose with a forehead mark (tikka), a traditional topknot (ushnisha) and ringlet hair.

The Buddhabrot rendering technique was discovered by Melinda Green, who later described it in a 1993 Usenet post to sci.fractals.
