They call it the Mandelbulb. The 3-D renderings were generated by applying an iterative algorithm to a sphere. The same calculation is applied over and over to the sphere’s points in three dimensions. In spirit, that’s similar to how the original 2-D Mandelbrot set generates its infinite and self-repeating complexity.

Awesome stuff, Kristoff.
Ironic that you posted this now, as Benoit Mandelbrot, the mathematician who the fractals are named after, just died last week. Here is a photo gallery of more fractals.
I'm interested in learning how fractals can be used in design.
