3D Fractal Animations

Fractals (mathematical definition here) are essentially objects with infinite levels of detail. A aelf-similar fractal means that you see smaller versions of the fractal as you zoom in. But not every fractal is self-similar.

Usually we think of fractals as 2-dimensional given the drawings and animations we see, but I was able to create these 3-Dimensional fractals with an amazing program called Mandelbulber2.
