Post by: Zairyn Arsyn on May 23, 2013, 01:27:28 PM
from the past two weeks
C&C welcome.

two renders from the new Monte Carlo render utility, beta.

Looks fantastic!

Imagine an extraterrestrial environment and put some of those pictures into a sphere. Unsharpen it hard and put the focus on something what happens in the foreground.

This makes me falling into psychedelic daydreams right now..  8)

some really interesting shapes. I think I also have to mandelbulb at some time!

like Terragen, Mandelbulb 3D is created by a single programmer. ;)

this program has many possibilities, lots user contributed fractal formulas/functions are available for experimentation.

Terragen hasn't been a one man (programmer) show for a long time. :D But Matt's still the mastermind behind the heart and soul of Terragen, its rendering engine and procedural systems. Jo spends a lot of time making it easier for you guys to actually access and easily use that stuff.

But I digress. I love seeing the variety of results that come out of these programs, in fact fractal software (like Fractint, in the early days) were one of the things that got me interested in computer graphics in the first place. Speaking of Mandelbulber stuff, I recently ran across some really cool, more realistic (as in "what if these shapes were real-world sculptures?") renderings, and I really liked them. Check it out: http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/tom-beddard-subblue-faberge-fractals/ (http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/tom-beddard-subblue-faberge-fractals/)
Maybe we'll get real-world versions of that kind of stuff if someone gets ahold of a 3D printer...? Hehe.

Some of these are fantastic. I particularly like loosen the roots1.

There are amazing videos here. Are these done in that program?

those were done with the 3D Mandelbulb Fractal Raytracer
but mandelbulb 3D does do animations too,

i knew that actually Oshyan ;D, i know Jo already has a lot involvement in TG2
i was speaking in terms of most the central programming render engine type stuff.

Sure, I understand. Just like to give credit where it's due. :D Matt is still the man, for sure!

These last two really work for me.
