I ran a calculation of a slice through such a surface.

A point is white if the Lorenz Attractor with parameters Sigma=10, 
Rho=28, Beta=8/3 starting at that point converges to the Attractor and 
black if it diverges.

The shape has got a bit more structure than I expected, but it's not 
very exciting. It took 4m 35s to calculate that one slice, so expect 
several hours to calculate a complete 3D surface using SDL. If you think 
it's worth pursuing, then you'd be better off doing the calculations in 
a compiled language and outputting something that POV can process.

I've posted the image to binaries.images and gave it the title "Lorenz 
Generator Slice". I thought that retaining the title of this thread for 
the image posting would confuse readers of that group.
