Title: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: cKleinhuis on May 12, 2007, 01:15:10 PM Hello
I have managed to render some 3d movies straight out of Mutatorkammer http://fractalmovies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=28 Here are some preview images (http://fractalmovies.com/images/stories/fractalmovies/3d/mj000732.jpg) (http://fractalmovies.com/images/stories/fractalmovies/3d/mov000011.jpg) Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: Sockratease on May 12, 2007, 02:02:38 PM WOW!
You got the 3D working smoothly!! Very Impressive!! I can't wait to play with this aspect myself! You make me wish I studied computers instead of chemistry!!

i made just another movie (http://fractalmovies.com/images/stories/fractalmovies/3d/magnet_000027.jpg) http://fractalmovies.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=21&func=fileinfo&id=100 Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: doncasteel8587 on May 14, 2007, 12:41:30 PM WOW, these are Outstanding!
I love how smooth and fluid they are. Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: cKleinhuis on May 15, 2007, 01:43:26 AM thank you, here is an endless heart zoom, which might interest you also

Here's a short "Blender" type 3D Animation made with the latest Mutatorkammer: (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/th_3dslices1.jpg) (http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=3dslices1.flv) http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=3dslices1.flv I'm still working on centering the image in open GL and it needs better lighting, but I like it! It looked better large and uncompressed... Still... Weeee! Speaking of Weeee... (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/th_slices2.jpg) (http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=slices2.flv) http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=slices2.flv I was trying to get a better idea of how the program works by taking an image based formula and removing the image - leaving just the fractal. That's how I got the 3D Animation. That's the original 2D Photo-Based Animation. Might as well post it. It's that Beautiful Woman with whose Image I keep making stuff! I never claimed to be sane. What would be the point? Nobody would believe me anyway... Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: Sockratease on August 09, 2007, 01:23:13 PM I took an old 2D animation and let it render in 3D... just to see what happened.
Here it is: (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/th_3dpath.jpg) (http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=3dpath.flv) http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m278/sockratease/?action=view¤t=3dpath.flv Odd results!! I like Odd results!! Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: twinbee on December 07, 2007, 12:40:06 AM Trifox,
Wow, what can I say? I'm a sucker for these kind of animations, especially when the frame-rate is as smooth as you have made them. I love the colour schemes you have given each one too, especially that blue/cream/chocolate one. Suggestions? It's good that you're exploring different types of camera movement (zoom/pan etc.), but it would be nice if each movement gradually smoothed into the next type of movement. Like by using B-Spline curves or something. Also, the iteration rate seems a little low for some of them - we're getting rounded off hills and valleys, but maybe it can't be helped as speed and the general look would suffer with more iters? Any way of removing the bubbling/boiling effect down at the tiny details by the way (not that I don't like it) ? Keep up the good work. The way the 'mountains' shrink in each gives them a strange perspective - it's so cool. That 3D Mandelbrot mountain is possibly the best of its type I've ever seen! PS. Xvid is supposed to have better video quality than Divx... Title: Re: Mutatorkammer 3d Movies Post by: cKleinhuis on January 30, 2008, 08:31:22 PM hey, thank you very much ... a word about iteration depth when rendering 3d animations: the problem with higher iteration values is simply that those deep iterated values produce high frequent noise, meaning, the bulbs would bubble up and down randomly, so i choosed to use a slow increase in iteration depth, so that it matches the current zoom state ... a word about smoothing animation pathes: in mutatorkammer you can use hermite splines, catmull rom splines and linear interpolation, by now, the problem when you see the stepping is, that the zoom is an exponentional interpolation, wich i did not have managed to interpolate smoothly ... ;( if anyone could give me some hints it would be great ... a word about camera pathes: i love the rotations... a word about divx i have been using divx since 7 years now, but they are annoying me a little bit with their encoding restrictions, is xvid free ? if yes i will give it a try ... and don't blame the original codec when watching flash movies :) if you really like the movies, and the program, i would welcome you as a fractalmovies.com user, to post suggestions directly there, and hit me with a hammer on the head for stupid user interface on mutatorkammer ... ;) i am starting to refactor the mutatorkammer software this year, to provide cool layering functions and stuff ... ;9 i would like to point you to the quasi-quaternion 3d rendering method, a bit like xenodream ;) http://fractalmovies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=28 http://fractalmovies.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=28 greets |
