This is 3D Mandelbrot fractal z^8+c rendered in very high resolution. It was rendered using analytical Distance Estimation with adaptive threshold.
Fractal was shaded using one light-source which generates shadows and with ambient occlusion algorithm (160 coloured rays)
Please download image in 8000x8000 resolution and of course comment it

Now I'm preparing to convert it to Windows application. It should be possible.
You people are proposing a new form of hyperrealistic aesthetics.
The subtle colours make it.
