You could always use a 3d package like Blender to render 3D if you don't want to do all the programming. I like to use vray with 3ds max, it's easy to get realistic effects.
however,
1. expensive or illegal
2. can't really render fractals with infinite detail
3. no technical satisfaction of conquering one of the most difficult problems in fractal visualisation today
