So do you remember a few years(?) back when 3D Mandelbulbs were all the 
rage? IIRC there were some threads on these very groups about rendering 
them in POV, however it was painfully slow.

Well now you can do it in realtime on a (fast) GPU near you :-)

I need to tidy up the code a bit to make it easier to "fly around" and 
control the detail settings, but here's a quick teaser:

Note there's nothing pre-calculated here, the GPU is doing all the work 
on the fly.
