I put the MMFwip3D.ufm into Ultra Fractal and got it to show me a Mandelbulb today. I had a little trouble finding a parameter file for it, you really should include one in the download, I think. Eventually I found a core-dump type parameter file at
http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=2464.msg11838#msg11838I pasted this text into a text file that I named makin.upr and was able to load it as a param file, although it objected a bit about the "new" location of the formula.
Anyway, it worked for me and that's cool.
I recently put my cubic mandelbrot slices of the cubic connectedness map into Ultra Frctal with a rvr.ufm and rvr.upr, you can get from the Ultra Fractal public database, and the algoirthms are explained, with illos, on my page
http://www.rudyrucker.com/blog/2010/04/02/the-rudy-set-fractal/Something I want to see some more tries on are stacking up some of the Mk cubics as, say, the real part of the k param varies slowly...I think this really ought to make a nice Mandelbulb. Paul Nylander and Billy Rood tried this, and it didn't work for them, but I still think they might not have fully implemented what I actually had in mind, I'm not sure they ever got my exact definition of Mk, which is now pretty explicit in the rfr.ufm file.
I'd sort of like to try the stack myself, but the intricacies of Makin's ufm file are kind of indimidating.
Here's are two nice Mk details.
"The Invasion of the Hrull" and
"MandelCubicPacMan"
You can load these from the rvr.upr file in Ultra Fractal.
