Mandelbulb ray tracer

These scripts will render a new class of 3D Mandelbrot fractal called 'Mandelbulb'. Finer and finer details are revealed the closer you get to the fractal surface. There are many parameters to use to explore the fractal and render high quality images with Phong shading and ambient occlusion. The attached .pbk is the optimised quick version that will only work for positive powers. A more general version is available from my site which has a few more options. For more information, sample images and animations see this blog post: http://www.subblue.com/blog/2009/12/13/mandelbulb

Awesome script. One request, for all of these great scripts: Can you make them so that you can output a size greater than the current 2048 pixel limit, please? Thanks!
