    3d Fractal Software?

    Anyone know of software that can generate 3d/4d fractals such as this?

    So look in synaptic in Ubuntu type in fractal and you will find several on board, the Mandelbrot sets are the most common since Mandelbrot is such a important figure in this.

    Thanks for the info, but it looks like those programs are for generating 2-dimensional fractals. I was looking for the software that generates 3d fractals as described here, has this software not been officialy released yet?

    I installed all three on board generators one gave a 3D view but it was just a thickened side view, but it could be rotated on a x-y axis none would do any thing like the 3D video. I had to overwrite my Linux setup it went south on me today so I don't have them installed as of now.
