Right, I did look at the code, but I'm too unfamiliar with the language. Anyway,
I did some more homework on how this is done in general (one uses a distance
estimation method for every ray to determine an intersection point and a
surface normal)
So if I want to do something similar just using SDL code, it's like trying to
write a raytracer inside a raytracer, which is not good! :-((

The thing I want to try and do in a novel way is the Lorenz attractor, so none
of the features in Julia Fractal can be used, as what I want to do is totally
different.

My own conclusion is that want I want to do is impossible..
