3d Mandelbrot isosurface

I scripted the definition so it builds the mesh in chunks without running out of memory, but still on higher res details won't come close to a native isosurface renderer. Probably could add some more detail before running out of memory by running the reducemesh command after every chunk is generated (unless edges between chunks become noticeable).

Have you seen the "mandelbulb"?

I also used Millipede in this image to generate the mesh but to really capture the detail you need a voxel/isosurface renderer that calculates the surface boundary per pixel.

The only way to display this thing in Rhino is to create a mesh but is really inefficient and you run out of memory very fast.
