Title: Two big prints Post by: KRAFTWERK on April 27, 2010, 09:24:49 AM After weeks of rendering I finally got the chance to see my rendering in full size with (all) details.
Fractals are hard beasts, you cant make them big enough to see all the details. :( (http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/i/2010/116/b/1/The_Mandelbulb_Sect_by_MANDELWERK.jpg) The second big print is the one I hold in my hands... More info here: http://MANDELWERK.deviantart.com/art/The-Mandelbulb-Sect-162016306 Sorry about the religious overtones... I just had to...

hehe, next one please with holding the bulb up in the hand, on a hill, with fog and backlight, and perhaps some werewolves, and a big mandelbox borg-ship in the air :D great work! O0 Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: bib on April 27, 2010, 10:29:34 AM Very nice work!
Sorry about the religious overtones... I just had to... O0 Is is because the Pope has got the same first name as our worshipped father of fractals ? :D ;) Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: KRAFTWERK on April 27, 2010, 10:42:41 AM lol, congrats for this set up :D hehe, next one please with holding the bulb up in the hand, on a hill, with fog and backlight, and perhaps some werewolves, and a big mandelbox borg-ship in the air :D great work! O0 OK sorry for my unostentatious setup ;) I'll try to be more pretentious next time... O0 Thanks Trifox!

One day we'll have monitors big and fine enough to appreciate this more. Currently they use a pathetic 100 dpi apx, compared to 300dpi or even 1000dpi (100x the res!) for printers.

Fractals are hard beasts, you cant make them big enough to see all the details. :( The second big print is the one I hold in my hands... I am just curious as to the cost of both the wall print and the actual physical object. Plus the details about the printing processes used. Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: KRAFTWERK on April 29, 2010, 08:49:19 AM @ Twinbee & Nahee
Sadly the kind of canvas printing I got the chance to get a good price for (Full price about 55 £ per square meter) only uses a resolution of 100 dpi, and my original has pixels enough for this print size (4 x 2 meters) in 300 dpi... even if the rendering technique I had back then has a bit too few details to really be much better than in 100 dpi, I did get som modifications, so now I have made an even bigger, more detailed image of a zoom of the bulb (took about a month to render the parts), now looking for companys that prints 300 dpi O0) The 3D bulb is a print a friend was kind to do for me... ;) I must stop making bulbs all day!!! :D Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: GQuinn on April 29, 2010, 09:27:11 AM I am just curious as to the cost of both the wall print and the actual physical object. Plus the details about the printing processes used. Hi Nahee The physical object came about because Daniel White donated a voxel dataset to the forums. I converted this for use on a "ZCorp 450" 3D printer that we have here at Teesside University. There's some info and discussion at http://www.fractalforums.com/the-3d-mandelbulb/3d-printed-mandelbulb-photos/ Thanks for your discretion KRAFKWERK, I think the cat was out of the bag anyway :-) Gary. Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: KRAFTWERK on April 30, 2010, 09:48:47 AM No problem Gary ;)
(http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/i/2010/120/4/8/HDR_3D_MAnDelBulb_by_MANDELWERK.jpg) I just posted a (not very good) image of it @ deviantart: http://MANDELWERK.deviantart.com/art/HDR-3D-MAnDelBulb-162433145 Johan Title: Re: Two big prints Post by: bib on April 30, 2010, 09:55:12 AM Whaoo, it looks like a real render! :D :D :D :evil1:

I know there are those that will print at 300-dpi, and I hope you are able to find one that does so at a reasonable price. :) The physical object came about because Daniel White donated a voxel dataset to the forums.

There's some info and discussion at http://www.fractalforums.com/the-3d-mandelbulb/3d-printed-mandelbulb-photos/ I am still curious as to what an object such as that would cost to the average purchaser.

I can't remember exact figures because I'm at home right now, but I think material costs were in the region of £55 (UK). Add in 2 or 3 hours of manual handling and finishing, plus a profit margin... You could be looking at £200 or more per model. These machines aren't designed for mass production, so there's a lot of work to be done by hand :-( Gary.
