Re: The Mandelbrot goes 3D
These pictures look like multicolor SEM (scanning electron microscope) images. Very cool.

a bit of poking in the internet uncovered a program for your PC.

Nice! Interesting to play with those iteration settings. My PC just did an emergency shutdown... time to get rid of the dust on the CPU heatsink again

You guys are sick ! It looks disgusting to me. God gave us skin so we wouldn't have to look at that kind of stuff !

Re: The Mandelbrot goes 3D
the rendering is not even close
the mandelbulb looks like global illumination, that looks like shiny plastic phong shading.

Re: The Mandelbrot goes 3D
@Skywriter: Yes, that's true. But Pentium wanted a mandelbulb generator for Irix.
I think these global-illumination-renderings have been done with "Ultra Fractal 5".

Re: The Mandelbrot goes 3D
mandelbrot zooming is a great escape, xaos is great for that. i'm amazed at what a netbook can do with it.
with 3d you can go mandel-spelunking, but it's so slow.
