I remember using Fractint fractal generator in the 90′s and getting excited about the images like Mandelbrot or Lyapunov.

But now some people have extended de 2D mandelbrot fractal to a 3D complex space, obtaining these beautiful (and somewhat creepy) images:

There’s also a video animation wich shows a fantastic 3D render:

Ejemplo

This language allows you to define a ser of non-deterministic rules, which executes in a recursive fashion, in a way that resembles Prolog.

The program is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh under the GPL license.

If you’re interested and want to see more pictures, then don’t miss this gallery created by a growing fan group of this language.
