It doesn't work? Oops, I'm dreadfully sorry. Taking a look at the manual it
seems that you can crank up precision and/or max_iteration. It looks like
Julia fractals aren't that well implemented in POV-ray yet.
Before I even heard of Pov, I was quite smitten with a program called
Chaoscope. Animation support has been recently added to it, making it a
very interesting tool for exploring strange attractors. You can always
reimport the Chaoscope images into POV-ray as heightfields for fancy
renders. Chaoscope also supports several other non Julia attractors. You
can find it at http://www.btinternet.com/~ndesprez/
