Mandelbulb flight - the lava dome


Similar to the previous renders, but with updated visuals, where the iteration count determines the colour from gold - through grey obsidian and to self illuminating red&yellow lava. A red point light without occlusion has been added at the centre of the mandelbulb to give effect of illumination from the lava below. Volumetric yellow fog is computed, where iteration count determines the density of the fog. The flight path has been smoothed using Catmull Rom splines after many suggestions over at fractalforums.com. Render time was 1:48 (hours) using a pair of ATI Radeon HD 5850s, but setting up the flight path took considerably longer.

Into the Heart of the Mandelbulb


A deep zoom into the Mandelbulb with full parallax/perspective. Just like the 2D Mandelbrot, the detail never ends, so theoretically, you can zoom into the Mandelbulb forever. All music, graphics and sound created by moi.

mandelbulb 2


(www.iquilezles.org for more info) This is my second rendering of the so called Mandelbub fractal object. It was oversampled, but I wanted to ensure the quality was there, so antialiasing and motion blur were pushed more than needed. However there are some artifacts there due to some math inaccuracies. The rendering was done in regular C, in the CPU. It's multithreaded but not SIMD-ed. Render times were around few seconds per image (sub-frame). The surface detail is adjusted dynamically for every ray to ensure low computation cost and less aliasing.

Abandoned Sky Circus - mandelbulb flythrough


This is a fly-through of a 3D, Mandelbulb fractal created with Mandelbulb 3D (download bit.ly ). First time I've rendered such a long sequence - 12500 frames at about 3 1/2 minutes per frame for about 730 hours of rendering time. Next time I will do more test renders before committing to final version. :) Music created by my friend Richard Sharpless. He sometimes records his keyboard meanderings and hands me a disc full of 'Possible Soundtracks'. This one fit the bill perfectly. Mac users might want to try Mandelbulber sourceforge.net you can also explore fractals in your browser with Fractal Lab: fractal.io

(more info in www.iquilezles.org) A 3D Julia set ("Juliabulb"?) with parameter deformation, with the Mandelbulb formilation. It contains several rendering artifacts, but that's what I got. Written in C, it renders relatively quickly (almost realtime in the GPU).

This shows what can happen to a 'bulb when the powers of r, theta, and phi differ. You can see what the value of each power is on the funky steampunk plasma display in the corner. (I accidentally killed the render in progress, and decided to post this as a preview of a work in progress.)

Mandelbulb Zoom - Bib's Find - 20101013


Using Mandelbulb3D and a formula graciously shared by Bib, this straight-trajectory zoom was realized. It provides visual evidence of the true fractal nature and characteristics of Mandelbulbs. They are equally complex no matter how far you zoom, with the only limitation being the software and one's hardware. Bib's original: www.youtube.com Which is much more interesting than mine!

Dreams of Change - Mandelbulb 3d


*** Sorry for the bit bad quality of this movie. It was my first *** movie, and I learned from it to render in higher resolution. Since a few days I finally started to understand the program Mandelbulb 3D. It's great, and pretty addictive if you love fractals. So I decided to make a testvideoanimation. Just past halfway the video there are 2 big 'jumps', I must have made some mistakes in the timeline, but because its a testvideo, I just left them in. Video info: -Made with Mandelbulb 3D -rendered about 1600 frames in a little less than 6 hours -As a base, I started with parameters from n8iveattidue at Deviantart: n8iveattitude1.deviantart.com Video shows what happens in the fractal when the parameters are sligthly changed every time -Mucic in the video is "Mars and Stars" from www.danosongs.com Enjoy!

Powers of the Mandelbulb, Boldly Glowing


Here it is again, boldly glowing where no 'bulb has glown before. Put it at full screen in an endless loop for best results. This time it has absorption media inside, and is presented in a longer and smoother animation. As usual, I coded it for and rendered it with POV-Ray. [Starfield image courtesy of ESO/S.

Voxel based Mandelbulb in POV-Ray (JF002)


POV-Ray rendering of a 1024x1024x1024 voxel computation of the standard 8th power mandelbulb, as seen here: www.skytopia.com Rendered in 640x480, 24 FPS, using a combination of ray tracing (using two light sources) and radiosity. Aesthetically, this doesn't really surpass existing videos. The fractal structure is not immediately apparent due to the relatively low voxel resolution. For me, this was more of an "I must climb it because it is there" idea. ;) To see a way better, truly breathtaking mandelbulb rendering, see www.youtube.com for the work of Iñigo Quílez.

Revisiting the Mandelbulb


After I made the the obituary to B. Mandelbrot, I noticed how much fun it is to roam around in the newly discovered 3D fractals. I decided to make a more elaborate video with the same formula again when my new computer had arrived. Once it did (A Core I7-980X !), it took me the rendertime of about a day to get this result. I think it would have been a week with the old one... Hope you like it.
