More fractals but this is special, we can finally see what 3d Mandelbrot spirals might look like!
They figured out how to render 3d Kleinian groups which are pretty similar, they won't have as much variation zooming in but share many features.
They only figured this out two weeks ago though so are still improving everything, code implementing it in different programs working out formulas hybrid fractals. With optimization changing parameters etc could be as close as we'll get from a while. Especially as we're not sure the Mandelbrot exists in 3d, the multi colors of escape time don't translate as well into 3d/distance estimators as the 2 state Kleinian anyway.
Have a good new years guys!
