Title: Menger sponge fly-through
Post by: twinbee on February 08, 2009, 03:24:02 PM
There's a scene demo from Andromeda & Orb called "Stargazer", and it's all good, but the last part (say from 4:00) contains a tasty menger sponge flythrough animation with a nice, large field of vision. It's raytraced too, at least to a degree :)

The demo can be downloaded from:

Alternatively, you can see it at Youtube.com, but the quality is poor in comparison:

Anyone else know of any demos with animated 3D fractals inside?

I love the "Aztec Relic : Golden Gears" one - that looks really weird/cool.

Any chance of an uncompresssed 60fps 1024*768 version of that.... (drools...). Doesn't have to be realtime ;)

I'm planning on doing a CD of hi-res, longer playing versions of most of my YouTube animations plus a few more - probably as ".mov" in h264 or Apple MPEG 4 format.
I'll let you know when it's sorted :)

Wow that's awesome! Any chance of a 60fps framerate for that? Despite doubling the render time and disk space, it just adds that extra smoothness which is hard to describe in words.

download the executable here
http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=%2Fparties%2F2008%2Fnvscene08%2Fdemo%2Fstargazer.zip&fileinfo

it is a extraordinary nice demo, it is a demo containing much realtime rendered gfx be sure to watch the executable!

hehe, i have a made also an zooming menger sponge, try my 4k intro released in 2004 :D

Cool that you make demos too Trifox - wish I had the skills/patience to learn.

Nice demo - though couldn't find a zooming menger sponge in that one ;)

each cube you see in the demo is a menger sponge, but only with iteration 2 or 3 .... the hires version has a bit more iterations on the sponges,but i know the intro is booooring and has no music.... O0

My 3D IFS formula for Ultra Fractal (mmf4.ufm-3D IFS) is based on Hart's work :)

Ace demo that, especially the way each object metamorphs. It's even got Lycium's 'Rise' in there too!
