Here are a number of images I particularly liked. 2011-04-18T15:42:58Z 2011-04-18T15:42:58Z https://gamma.unpythonic.net/01303141378 I've been playing with <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/mandelbulber/">mandelbulber</a>, a GPL 3D fractal renderer that runs on Linux and Windows. Among other things, it can make animations. I haven't had this much fun since I first discovered fractint in the early 1990s. <p>The animation is an IFS-type fractal modified by the spherical folding mode. It explores the &quot;alpha&quot;, &quot;beta&quot; and &quot;gamma&quot; rotations under General IFS Parameters, ultimately returning to the initial configuration. (too bad I can't figure out how to make the player loop the clip!) <p>Check it out:
