It’s amazing what late night hacking can result in - here’s a cool interactive, rotating 3d Mandelbrot extrusion that I coded up last night in Processing.

Processing is this fun programming language based on Java, primarily created for electronic artists and visual design & media folks. It lets you do some pretty cool and interesting things visually, and has actually gotten around being sophisticated enough to do some impressive things — a large chunk of the the visualization part of my graduate work was done in Processing.
Anyway, I also found out that someone had taken my Java source code for generating Julia & Mandelbrot sets and ported that to processing — here are Mad Merv’s versions of Julia fractal and Mandelbrot fractal.
