Awesome!  Just picked up on the Mandelbulb thing from Clifford Pickovers Reality
Carnival.  The most bootifull things I have ever seen!  Can we get some "pure
silver" renders of these things?  Mercury landscapes 'n' all that?

On another note, just got 3dsmax working again and using the built-in particle
system (p-flow) managed to crash my pooter using just 420,067 particles (4 point
camera facing polygons)!  POVRAY took the same system (made with spheres) and
did NOT crash at - let me just look at the number again - 920,332,986!




Go figure!

Anyway, back to the Mandelbulb - Isosurfaces being used?  I would dearly love to
see the code...
