Well they can do amazing things these days.
I don't make 3D fractals myself, just the music. But the tools they use include Mandelbulber and Mandelbulb 3D
Mandelbulb Software
I suggest you look at the Fractal Forum galleries
Fractal Forums - gallery - and see what you like, and find out how it was made
and their software discussion forums Fractal Forums - software discussions
and introduce yourself and ask questions - they are a friendly bunch :).
Here are some of the 3D videos made by members of that group which I joined together and added fractal music to made with my own Fractal Tune Smithy
