Fractal Art 4 - Mandelbulb3D

Mandelbulb3D is a free 3d fractal generating software program written by Jesse on FractalForums. Others in the group have contributed new formulae to produce an amazing application for generating fractal art. There are many formulae for different fractal objects to try each having parameters which can be tweaked. Formulae can be mixed and combined or hybriised to provide an infinite number of variations.

The 3D rendering environment includes lighting, color, specularity, depth-of-field, shadow- and glow- effects; allowing the user fine control over the imaging effects.

There is a 3d navigation pane which enables you to see the immediate effect of your changes on screen. I find it fairly intuitive to use. go to the following link to Download Mandelbulb3D.

I find the software great for creating sci fi art and you can add backdrops of starfields, galaxies or any jpg file you like.
