This is a slight in-zoom fig 4, page 3 in article 17 in my Chaotic series of fractal articles. Thus:

*a_real = 0.
*a_imag = #pixel (horizontal before being rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
*b_real = #pixel (vertical before being rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
*b_imag = 0

The sets M+ and M- completely coalesces in this slice, so the black set represents Cubic Connectedness Locus (CCL).

No filters or postprocessing except anti-aliasing (from 6400 x 4800).

Software: Ultra Fractal.
Color routine: Continuos Potential Method (CPM).
Formula: Cubic Parameterspace3 in the sp3-module written by my dear friend Stig Pettersson, Greenseng here at DeviantART. All his modules, as well as mine can be downloaded from [link]

More info about Cubics can be found at my Cubic Tutorial and the "cubic" articles in my Chaotic series.

Below the parameter file. Play and have fun
