Awesome Mandelbrot functions in 3D ( images + theory )

Just in case you guys want to play with Fractals, there's a free program you can use (still beta):

I use it, not well, but I use it. Great program.

I tried it too... I still prefer Apophysis 3D.... Xenodream looks great but I only tried the free version ^^

Xenodream is awesome, but I don't understand much of the shader and rendering.
I believe these are rendered with an external software or something cause I can not reproduce anything even close to those.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make something similar?

Hi sjefen,
i just took a quick look and found this http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4404
and on that artists website he mentions also lightwave renders.

Thanks j meyer,

Looks like he just rendered it with XenoDream and then took it to Photoshop for the rest in that link you gave. I can't even make something worth taking to Photoshop with the rendering inside XenoDream so there has to be something I have missed. I don't dare try an export those models to another 3D software as they have so much detail.
