Based on work by Daniel White and Paul Nylander, Jesse and a group of FractalForums contributors developed a free 3d fractal rendering software known as Mandelbulb3D. This program enables you to explore fractal objects interactively and render them with raytraced quality.

This video was my first effort at creating a Mandelbulb3D animation. Rendering all of the frames took about month to complete, and another month was spent composing the music and post-processing the video and audio.
