Generates Mandelbulb images. Mantra is an interactive program that is optimized to generate hi-res 3D Mandelbulb images. Mantra currently supports Mandelbulb Sine and Mandelbulb Cosine renderings of the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets and includes the triplex math extensions devised by Paul Nylander.

Mantra Features:
1. Getting Started Tutorial
2. 112 Built in Mandelbulb/Triplex Formulas
3. User-Defined Mandelbulb formula (h1)
4. Detailed parser information for creating your own custom formulas
5. Palette-based and generalized (32-bit) coloring methods
6. External rendering libraries [RLL] for elaborate surface texturing
7. Perlin noise generator for realistic textures
8. Adjustable lighting model with Phong highlights
9. Random image generators and random formula generator
10. Batch mode for unattended image creation
11. Integrated video routines allow easy morphing and rotating between key frames
12. AVI object options for exporting single frames as 3D object files
13. Pilot for easy panning, zooming and rotating
14. Separate user-defined folders for file types like palettes, textures, objects and drawings
15. Context help for menu commands and dialog windows as well as a complete list of topics in the main Windows help [Html] file

3D object exports:
1. Wavefront object format [OBJ]
2. Stereolithography [STL]
3. Triangle mesh [POV]
4. Smooth Triangle mesh [POV]
5. Mesh simplification for smaller OBJ and POV export files
6. Virtual reality [WRL]
7. AutoCad [DXF]
8. Polygon Format [PLY]

Limitations:
* The image size is limited to 320X240 and the precision of 3D object exports is fixed at 300 steps
