Mandelbulber is a fractal generating software with the license GPLv3. This software can be used for rendering of 3D fractals like Mandelbulb, Mandelbox or IFS. The first version was released back in 2010 and the software is still under development. The download is free.

Creation
Mandelbulber was released directly after known fractals like the Mandelbulb were reproducible via fractal formulas. Name and logo are inspired by the Mandelbulb. The name expresses a medium for a creation of this fractal.

Functionality
The Rendering of the fractals happens via Raymarching. This technique only saves the image and depth information so that the results are an incompatibility with software such like Blender. Apart from the material settings (such like textures, attributes like reflexion or opacity, etc.) the user is also able to toggle render parameters like error corrections, area of rendering, etc. or the image resolution up to 65535 pixels per axis. The user can pick one or more of many predefined fractal formulas, but it's also possible to implement new ones with some workarounds. Quality aspects like Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), Depth of field (DOF), Field of view (FOV) or High Dynamic Range (HDR) can be activated or are variable. Via already set parameter values (like fractal scale), it is possible to create image series that can be combined to a independent video or GIF. Possible are e.g. fractal transformations or flights through or into a fractal.

Navigation
The user navigates its camera through a Cartesian coordinate system. The movement of the camera can be influenced by clicking on a point of a fractal or changing position parameters or other settings like pitch, yaw and roll.

Export
The are some ways to export the fractal creations made in the software. On the one hand the user can export 2 dimensional images like JPG, PNG, EXR odr TIFF in different bit depths.
