3D Mandelbulb V6 - 2100+ Frames -- 1080P

You are watching a POV-Ray Cyclic Animation rendered at 1920x1080 at an Antialias Depth of 3 with Antialias Threshold set to 0.1 The object is rotating on the Y axis in this animation in step with a clock variable. A six tiered color map gives creates the color effects on the surface of the mandelbulb object.
The Mandelbulb is a three-dimensional analogue of the Mandelbrot set, constructed by Daniel White and Paul Nylander using spherical coordinates.
A canonical 3-dimensional Mandelbrot set does not exist, since there is no 3-dimensional analogue of the 2-dimensional space of complex numbers. It is possible to construct Mandelbrot sets in 4 dimensions using quaternions. However, this set does not exhibit detail in all dimensions like the 2D Mandelbrot set.
The Mandelbulb set has not been fully explored by any computer graphics language and the POV-Ray version of this function is even harder to find due to the processing power required to create these images. POV-Ray for Windows 3.7 uses SMP processing to utilize all available cpu cores in your computer. The 3D object language creates stunning ray traced images. Several different processors were used to make this image: AMD Opteron 6128, AMD Opteron 6176, AMD Phenom II x965, AMD Phenom II x6 1090T and an Intel Extreme QX9650

so this was done with a cluster right?
