Title: Journey to the Cathedral Post by: Don Whitaker on March 25, 2013, 08:01:52 PM Here are a couple of my most recent Mandelbulb 3D animations.
Journey to the Cathedral is a timelapse screencast I captured as I was searching out a new 'filming location'. Sort of like a picture-in-picture effect as I display various renders throughout the process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjtL1nSnntE&feature=share&list=PLBA14567494C6C3C2 And here is a slow fly-over I created of the same Amazing Surface scene. I thought this one would never finish rendering. ;) 1920x1080 at 2x antialias http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAPyjPGqw78&feature=share&list=PLBA14567494C6C3C2 Here's the .m3a file if you'd like to take a better look https://www.dropbox.com/s/ll32h7171aqrhhj/MandevlVerse-Cathedrals-anim-final.m3a Title: Re: Journey to the Cathedral Post by: taurus on March 25, 2013, 08:55:21 PM I thought this one would never finish rendering. ;) 1920x1080 at 2x antialias yes, that's insane for a cpu renderer, but you tweaked out a tremendous image quality. the starting sculpture looks familiar to me. You had a similar still frame? nice work! :beer: Title: Re: Journey to the Cathedral Post by: weavers on March 26, 2013, 01:29:56 AM Thank you, thank you Master a pleasure be truly extraordinary the Fractal Forums, the possibilities are infinite .

Yes, I posted a still image before I started rendering. I was pretty happy with the results, but I think my next project will be lo-rez. :) Title: Re: Journey to the Cathedral Post by: Dinkydau on March 26, 2013, 07:38:02 PM Nice video

Title: Re: Journey to the Cathedral Post by: trumanbrown on March 28, 2013, 09:17:58 PM Absolutely beautiful fly-over Don. Great lighting and atmosphere. AA is definitely a monumental test of patience, but the end result is usually worth it, as in this case. |
