Helps you render 3D Mandelbrot fractals with ease

Regardless of whether you’re an animator, a graphic designer, or you just like playing around with your pictures and videos – Mandelbulber is a must have tool for all of your fractal needs.

Mandelbulber supports a variety of 3D fractals, including Mandelbulb, Mandelobox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, Quaternion, Trigonometric, Hypercomplex, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS), is completely free and open source (meaning that if you know what you’re doing, you can easily tailor the program to suit your unique individual needs), and is equipped with a ton of features that you’ll find incredibly useful.

If you use a camera for absolutely any part of your business (or personal fun), you should definitely seriously consider putting Mandelbulber on your Windows system.
