Hello;

I have just finished my latest project called Menger, created with Fragmentarium.

That quite took my breath away...
I didn't even listen to the music (It's late here, don't want to wake anybody up and don't have headphones), but the video is amazing. I love how you made the camera shake, causing a feeling of intense action, while simply showing modified menger sponges "evolving". I couldn't ever do something like that, even in a downloaded program (I mostly stick to my own programs), but you are truly born to render!

Amazing video.
You really get the idea of a underwater movie and some sort of unknown biomass.
It's spectacular and the music is perfectly chosen!   "Cheers to you too"
Happy holidays to you all. :)

A sponge diver's dream, awesome effects!
it has been some time since I've been able to play with Fragmentarium, just curious, what version you used...
 old ?
 new ?
 eclipse ?
 hacked ?

Hi guys;

Thank you so much for your very nice compliments.

kubinator4321 - Yes, I think the camera work really spices it up. Ideally this should have been done in 3D with the virtual camera but I didn't know how so I did it in compositing. It's a 2D camera move but it works surprisingly well, IMO. Without the camera work, the video lacks energy.

3dickulus - I used an older version: 0.9.12. I tried the latest one but all my projects were created with this older version so I just stuck to that one.

Again, the most impressive thing to me is just how fast these fractals are rendered using the GPU. All frames were under 2 seconds and from someone who specializes in 3D rendering, where HD frames take on average over an hour, it is spectacular to say the least. ;)

-Rich

for rendering fragmentarium scripts, be sure to check out "Synthclipse" an awesome eclipse based gpu editor with animations, saving, code hinting, code highlighting
