#
Programs to explore the Bulb
# Mandelbulber - Amazing Mandelbulb/box renderer created by Krzysztof Marczak, and available for Linux and Windows. Also see the forum page for help.
# Mandelbulb 3d - Excellent Mandelbulb/Mandelbox renderer by Jesse. Contains neat navigator mode.
# Tacitus 1.0.0.3 Beta by Xyrus02 - Nice interface and decent rendering for the Mandelbulb (and other objects potentially).
# 3D Mandelbulb Ray Tracer - Nice realtime renderer by Subblue. It works either through the Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit (free of charge), or through Adobe Photoshop (Photoshop is expensive, though this approach is easier to use).
# Chaos Pro - The latest version (4 at time of writing) can now support Mandelbulbs and Juliabulbs.
# Visions of Chaos - Created by Softology, this one creates some of the nicest renders I've seen yet. See these links for examples.
# MathFunction Renderer by Thomas Grip.
# Mandelbulb Explorer by Dmitry Brant.

# Mandelbulb (Images des mathématiques) - Further exploration of the Mandelbulb by Jos Leys, including orders less than eight.
# Mandelwerk - A giant 3.3 Gig pixel zoomable Mandelbulb render - the biggest so far, created by Johan Andersson.
# News coverage at New Scientist, Slashdot, Wired, to name a few.
Other fractal links:
Mandelbox home page - Tom Lowe's recent discovery - the incredible 'Mandelbox'; a 3D fractal with a more 'mechanized' look to it than the Mandelbulb.
If you have a meaty GPU, try this small program created by Jan Kadlec to explore the Mandelbox in realtime.
rfractals.net - Still some of the best fractals I've ever seen, created by Ramiro Perez (aka Aexion).
Rena Jones - Open Me Slowly Video - Created by Kris Northern, probably the best 3D fractal animation I have seen. What are you waiting for, see it now!
Evolving Fractal Animations - Also amazing. Very high details animations which warp and evolve fractals, created by Jock Cooper.
3D Fractals - Tetrabrot - A cool program to explore a different kind of 3D Mandelbrot set.
