Nah, they're all done by a guy with some really chunky wax crayons  ;D

Outstanding renders, some really fabulous stuff here. Don't know why but it most definately brings to mind the works of Lovecraft.... or maybe thats just my warped imagination  ;D

maybe some starting points for fractal tools:

beware though.... fractals are infinite addictive...

I stumbled upon this on Reddit.  Loving the "Magic Broccoli".   ;D

Just in case you guys want to play with Fractals, there's a free program you can use (still beta):

incendia

I use it, not well, but I use it. Great program.

I tried it too... I still prefer Apophysis 3D.... Xenodream looks great but I only tried the free version ^^
Title: Re: Awesome Mandelbrot functions in 3D ( images + theory )
Post by: sjefen on July 30, 2010, 04:53:37 PM
Xenodream is awesome, but I don't understand much of the shader and rendering.
I believe these (http://www.projekt0.net/gallery/0039full.html) are rendered with an external software or something cause I can not reproduce anything even close to those.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make something similar?

Hi sjefen,
i just took a quick look and found this http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4404
and on that artists website he mentions also lightwave renders.

Thanks j meyer,

Looks like he just rendered it with XenoDream and then took it to Photoshop for the rest in that link you gave. I can't even make something worth taking to Photoshop with the rendering inside XenoDream so there has to be something I have missed. I don't dare try an export those models to another 3D software as they have so much detail.
