Created entirely in Ultrafractal (except for a resize down from the original). A 3D view of the Julibrot for z^2+c using a different method of deciding when the fractal is solid - in this case when the magnitude of the final z value for a given pixel is less than a given threshold (using a very limited number of iterations). The image has three layers, two for the colour/texture and just one layer of lighting using a mixture of ambient, Gourad and Phong lighting with shadows.
