Visualize the iterations for determining complex numbers in a mandelbrot set

Evaluate a mandelbrot set using CUDA and visualize each iteration with ParaView Catalyst2. Consider the equation Z = Z^2 + C, in the 4D space made up of Creal, Cimag, Zreal and Zimag, this visualization maps the x-axis to Creal, y-axis to Cimag and z-axis to Zimag.

Build

git clone https://github.com/jspanchu/MandelbrotCatalyst2
