Description
This is a Julia set fractal rendered with FractalWorks, a high performance 3D fractal renderer for Macintoshes.
It is a height map created using Distance Estimate values as the basis of the height values, and a colored using an adaptive coloring scheme that uses the distribution of integer iteration values to assign colors, and then the fractional iteration value to create smoothly shaded plots.

Wonderful! Now if we could link this program to a injection plastic mold maker and the right math, we could make...ANYTHING! Jump right on that, won't you? Seriously tho, Great work!

Intro, I've thought of that. There are companies that have 3D "printers" that can do exactly what you describe. You feed it a 3D mathematical model, and it creates a colored 3D object that exactly duplicates your model. Check out this link to see what I'm talking about: http://www.zcorp.com/ (Click the "video spotlight" link on the page.) Unfortunately, there's 3 or 4 more zeros in the price for such a printer than my checkbook can afford.
