Sometime back in 2007 two members of the Fractal Forums, Daniel White
and Paul Nylander, proposed a method to generate 3D shapes which
resemble fractals. Although these shapes are not fractals in the
mathematical sense, they look like ones, and are commonly referred to
as "fractals" in the art community. A new name was coined for the new
3D fractals: "Mandelbulb".
Mandelbulbs look fascinating even when rendered in 2D. But when I
first saw their pictures, it occurred to me that they will look even
more magnificent in 3D. With this in mind I developed a workflow which
renders a Mandelbulb to a 3D lenticular picture, using the program
Mandelbulb3D created by Jesse. In such pictures one can see the
Mandelbulbs in their full glory.

The picture is composed from 20 views of the object carefully
registered geometrically and optimized for lenticular display. The
displayed depth is 100mm.
To me this picture symbolizes the satisfaction and pleasure
accompanying a spiritual illumination or a mental breakthrough. It
displays a burst of fluid illuminated with vivid colors. The
upward direction of the eruption symbolizes progress and new
energy.

The object looks like a golden jewel which resembles blooming
flowers. The deep blue background emphasizes the gold colors and
the richness of the object.
