This is so amazing. Some are looking like corals or broccoli.

If someone has the time and patience to play with 3D fractals, you can do it with this free sofware:

That looks cool, I wouldn't mind playing with it.

I think these guys were trying to extend the original equations for Mandelbrot sets into 3D. From what I understand, Mandelbrot sets are functions of the complex plane, which has a real and an imaginary axis, making it 2D. They were trying to somehow add a third axis to the complex plane and still keep the spirit of the equations.
