This 3D image is a deep zoom into the Mandelbrot set along the negative x axis. The image is one of those familiar ones with rays extending out from a central minibrot. In 3D, you can see the rays are made up of areas with lower and higher iterations. The alternating high and low areas kind of look like fingers. The model is set to use the iterations between 124 and 175 so it doesn't show the minibrot at the center. Another thing you notice with the model is that there are iterations between every layer of fingers that are oval shaped. I set the parameters to stop there so the model has an oval cap.

It took Fracton 13 minutes to make the model on my 8 core Intel Mac Pro. The 3D image is rendered in Cheetah 3D.

In order to keep the parameter file compatible with FractInt, I exported the parameter file set to type Mandelbrot HP in Fracton. To make the model, you need to set the type to Formula HP. The parameter file for the fractal is:
