Mandelbulb : 3D Mandelbrot. The Mandelbulb is an attempt to extrude the classic Mandelbrot Set fractal into three dimensions. I’m not enough of a mathematician to say whether it accomplishes this feat, but it is utterly arresting. …
Around 20 years ago, along with other approaches, he first imagined the concept behind the potential 3D Mandelbulb (barring a small mistake in the formula, which nevertheless still can produce very interesting results – see later), …
The program lets you select the “power” of the Mandelbulb formula, as well as the number of iterations to perform. The program lets you select the resolution of the point cloud. It gives you a “selection cube” with which you can select …

Whilst these images have left me slightly baffled, they have a certain charm I find mesmorising and intriguing. 3D renderings of the mandelbrot. You can learn / see more here.
Inspired by the recent post on Skytopia, Tom Beddard created a 3D Mandelbulb Ray Tracer as a Quarz Composer and Pixel Bender plugin that will allow you to generate very similar 3D Mandelbrot fractals. Unlike many other 3D fractals the …
Mandelbulb . I noticed this linked from both Atom and Real-time Rendering blogs. Cyril Crassin, the guy behind the amazing gigavoxels raytracing, has got a 3d Mandelbrot fractal rendering in real time. As we know there isn’t actually a …
Subblue has also created a Mandelbulb implementation, released as a Pixel Bender script and a Quartz composer plugin. A number of interesting customizations makes this my favorite choice: it is possible to explore negative and …
