 From the site itself:

Any decent 3D software to render the beast?
Not from what I've seen. I originally looked for a 3D program, but 
nothing out there seems to render arbitrary functions. Perhaps POVray 
comes closest with its isosurface approach, but even then one can't use 
local variables or constructs such as While loops.

In the end, I had to create my own renderer (as did the other peeps at 
FractalForums.com)
