The program uses distance estimate data (based on the derivative of the iterated function) to create a height map, and then renders that height map as a colored and shaded 3D image.
Some sample images: (click each image to see a larger version on my pbase site)
Julia snowflake 3D:
Mandelbrot flower:
And a fractal mountain landscape:
If you have a Macintosh computer running OS 10.4 or later you can try the program yourself. There is a link at the top of <u>my pbase gallery</u>. (link)

These are wonderful images. The mountainscape has such scale and yet looks like it’s been draped with fabric, very weird.
