Mandelbulb 3D Fractal

Ray-marched cross-sections of the 3D Mandelbulb — the "true" 3D Mandelbrot set

The Mandelbulb uses spherical coordinate power: r^n·(sin(nθ)cos(nφ), sin(nθ)sin(nφ), cos(nθ)). Points are colored by escape time. n=8 gives the classic spiky bulb structure. Slide z-slice to explore cross-sections through the 3D volume.
