I have been studying how Mandelbulb3D works to become more familiar with which settings do what. 

I thought I'd share what I discovered about the "R Bailout" value while trying to get a handle on a particularly noisy/fuzzy/gnarly parameter combination:



In this example I used a pretty high Iteration count (4600) because I wanted to make sure I was showing all the details. Pay attention to the R Bailout value and watch how the fractal builds out. The building is not linear, and will depend on the fractals you are using. AND you can see by these images that just by changing ONE number in your render, you may end up with an entirely different looking fractal!

There are more resources available at our new group, :iconm3d-parameters: M3D-Parameters!

Come on over and kick the tires. We're in the process of collecting up deviations from generous people who have shared their Mandelbulb3D parameters, as well as a list of great resources like tutorials and maps.

Did I mention there are lots of parameters you can tweak?? :P
