#5For Volumising Mandelbrot's Equation the Mandelbulb is worth a look:
"In 2006 Daniel White inspired by an idea of Rudy Rucker developed a mathematical equation with the potential for a real 3D equivalent to the famous 2D mandelbrot set. With a modification by Paul Nylander in 2009 the Mandelbulb was born on fractalforums.com"[1][2]

Hey, the code is well commented and the math is explained in detail as well.

And for discussion of 3D analog of the original Mandelbrot, check out the Math Exchange discussion[1] and site dedicated to finding it.[2]
The vanilla zoomed mandelbrot[3] looks 3d to me. It's interesting that actually turning them into true 3d is such an elusive problem.

#10If nothing else, I learned that you can write Python scripts for Blender. Neat.
