This fractal structure reminded me of what a designer virus might look like when magnified many thousands of times - complete with an "88" signature stamped on its side! Mandelbulb 3D (A free software available online) took 4 days and 18 hours to render all 4000+ frames of this one on a dual core/quad thread 2.5gHz CPU machine.
Entire Fractal structures like this one are created from a mathematical formula, and can look surprisingly life-like after color mapping and ray-tracing processes are finished. This rendering went one step further and included a depth of field process to provide a gentle focus bokeh on distant and close-up surfaces, resulting in a more realistic macro type of feel.
The soundtrack is "Neptune Orbit (Alien City Mix)" from the "Mission Control" CD by Technician (yours truly), MP3 album and single track available on iTunes at: itunes.apple.com/us/album/mission-control/id583890621 full artist discography and CDs available at HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com
