Title: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: M Benesi on March 17, 2010, 12:48:28 AM A 4-dimensional (3 space + 1 time) type D2 fractal. Rendered it low resolution, and allowed clipping. Hopefully get a nicer version up before the revelries, but I might get caught up in stuff before I get it up. If I do go higher res, I'll still have to allow clipping to get it up before festivities begin... unless a nice person with a decent coprocessor (Clearstream, not GPU, don't thin GPUs can handle the fp-precision required) codes it up on the fly <-- pipe dream.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLmQsEroydc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLmQsEroydc) Here is a slightly higher res version, more frames of animation, slower, and reversed time in the middle (full "Fountain" video will not have time reversal, it is not required for fades to nothing). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8fMCFfnC1c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8fMCFfnC1c) In addition, here's a low resolution z^2 4d D2 fractal animation. I called it elephant valley animation because you end up with elephant looking frames (pause and find em) every once in a while. Not really way to elephanty- but slightly. Due to the fact that this is a z^2 fractal, and this is one of the focal areas for interesting interaction (this is a low iteration low zoom, just for kicks), I figured I could call this "elephant valley". The other fractals I've put over in the images forum recently (crystal samurai/ gates of hades) are from this vicinity, zoomed into different locations. Apparently there is a bit of variety, although I don't think I've really even penetrated the 50 iteration mark yet (need higher precision floats, faster computer, more money). Not that 3d fractals require as many iterations as 2d to reach variety... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVEDpEPOgU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVEDpEPOgU) Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: kram1032 on March 17, 2010, 07:50:15 PM no pics visible to me :(
Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: M Benesi on March 17, 2010, 07:56:50 PM Will fix quickly (I did "img" instead of "url").
My bad. New video will be in the mix as well, although the new one is of a shorter dimensional shift (going to start the beginning and ending segments now, this video instead has a time reversal to end up at the beginning: the full video will not require them).

Definitely a St. Patrick's Day Fractal O0 Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: kram1032 on March 17, 2010, 08:58:29 PM wobbly :)
Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: M Benesi on March 18, 2010, 09:33:37 PM Still wobbly. :D
I was hilariously wasted by about 11pm last night. Such a light weight.... Better start at 10:30 instead of 7, make it to last call.... Here is a 4 dimensional z^13 type R2D2 fractal animation, not the greatest render, but I like it a bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIisR5dq0KI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIisR5dq0KI) Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on March 19, 2010, 06:30:58 AM To me, it has the appearance of watching something moving that is under water, where the rippling flow of water affects the view. An interesting effect, though. :dink:
Title: Re: St. Patrick's Day Fractal Fountain (low res) Post by: M Benesi on March 19, 2010, 07:49:01 AM Thanks. I do like the way these various fractals appear- how the movements flow together. Gotta try a few more 4d D2s after the 4d R2D2 movie I'm rendering now. And I still have to complete the St. Patty's day fountain- but got caught up in other interesting... fountains. Here's another slow animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yLjN14wew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yLjN14wew) |
