Was this created with Artmatic Pro or some other cool app you have in the works?

Title: Re: 3D Sphere inversions fractal trip Post by: metawenger on July 30, 2012, 07:29:26 PM Thanks for the nice comments.
It was rendered with VQuartz a new (unreleased yet) application for graphic animation, montage and special effects that can animate parameters of Quartz Composer patches. So the main rendering was done in GPU through VQuartz calling Quartz Composer. The quartz composer patch is using classical DFRM (Distance field ray marching) techniques The GPU load was so intense it would crash most of the graphic board I have but on the NVidia it worked nicely. I m thinking to give these QC patch to the fractal forum community but i'm unsure where and how to do that yet. The upcoming new version of ArtMatic Pro and ArtMatic Voyager will include the Mandelbox, the Mandelbulb, some of the systems I used for KleinianDreams and primitives to build all sorts of fractals. You can render in AM voyager 3D systems made in Artmatic. The DFRM implementation in VY is slow but very versatile and can produce all sorts of things including plants, animals, fractals and weird objects. Attached a VY plant scene and a dephased Menger sponge rendered inside a VY landscape.

Any chance you would share this?
I see you also took a set of circles into the inversion algorithm.. Title: Re: 3D Sphere inversions fractal trip Post by: JosLeys on July 31, 2012, 08:03:51 PM I worked it out : I think it is the pattern in the image below.
Not sure about the circle segments and associated spheres though... Title: Re: 3D Sphere inversions fractal trip Post by: Dinkydau on August 08, 2012, 08:42:02 AM Very nice video, good atmosphere |
