Aside from the extra ball in the center, it actually is.

I have seen so many fascinating POV-Ray rendered images that would be
impossible to remember or to suggest, but something I really would like
to see built is a Fractal Julia :-D

Meh. I'd like to see a 3D slice of the 4D cubic complex Mandelbrot set. ;-)

A couple of years ago you posted the SDL code for a cubic Mandelbrot
which I turned into a df3 file. I hinted and hinted for you to do the
same for the classic Mandelbrot but we both move on.

In the late 80’s I went to Spain intending to go to Barcelona, Madrid,
Toledo etc. I never got further than Barcelona. I fell in love with
Gaudi and the city.
The only reason I came home was because the RSC put on The Rover by
Aphra Behn. (I had queued for days to get a day seat the year before)

I couldn't find any images of a 4D cubic complex Mandelbrot set but I
found a 'smallest absolute value of the orbit of the interior points of
the Mandelbrot set', 4D must be too crazy, man you need to suggest
something in 3D that won't take a team of Einsteins to make the blue
prints :-)

I never did like hypercomplex numbers and quaternions very much. Neither
of them are true number fields, and the Julia sets they produce are just
slightly modified surfaces of revolution.
The complex cubic Mandelbrot set uses only complex arithmetic - a true
number field - and produces a 4D image that has genuine detail in every
direction. The resulting images look much more "natural" to my eyes,
whichever plane you slice it in.
As you say though, this object is not widely known.
(And there's no way you'd ever make a building out of it. It's far too
impractical...)
