3D Fractals

A small gallery of 3D fractal images generated with FractalWorks, a high performance fractal renderer for Macintosh computers. FractalWorks is no longer available on the App Store, although I am working to get it updated and make it available again.

Phyllis, thanks for the kind words. Sorry I'm so very long in responding.

I wrote the program, FractalWorks, that I used to generate the images. It was for sale in the Mac App Store but I haven't kept it up-to-date so it is no longer for sale.

It generates 3D "Height map" images of Mandelbrot and Julia set fractals. For most of them, I use the "Distance Estimate" (DE) formula for the height of the 3D shape. I often also use DE values to add color contrast to the fine "filaments" of 2D and 3D Mandelbrot and Julia set plots.

Love your 3D fractals. What program did you use? Is this feature included or did you do something to the images?
