Mandelbulber

In summary, Mandelbulber generates three-dimensional fractals.

Explore trigonometric, hyper-complex, Mandelbox, IFS, and many other 3D fractals.

Render with a great palette of customizable materials to create stunning images and videos.

The possibilities are literally infinite!

Mandelbulber v2 is new line of this application. It was rewritten from scratch with new Qt based interface.

Old Mandelbulber is still available in Files section.

Wow! Easy to learn, easy to compile (I'm on MX Linux and Ubuntu-MATE), the doc is well written. But more than that, it is very user friendly, such a pleasure to learn it, and the outcome images are just incredible. Thank you so much developer!

Thanks for a great program under a free open source license!

Very impressive app. We all know about Mandelbrot fractals in 2D. But in 3D they are stunning! Note, the program is cross-platform (not Windows only).
