Title: 19th Hole Terraces - fractal zoom Post by: ericbigas on November 29, 2006, 09:24:20 AM Count me in. I'd love a copy of the Biocursion DVD. The sample clips look great.
My entry is a just-released zoom into the Mandelbrot set. * A low-res streaming version is on Google Video at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8556043221629997664&hl=en * A high-res downloadable version is at http://ericbigas.com/fractals/19ht/19th_Hole_Terraces.mpg The high-res version is 640x360, 60 megabytes, and in MPEG-1 (.mpg) format. It'll play on any computer and doesn't require additional software. Title: Re: 19th Hole Terraces - fractal zoom Post by: Sockratease on November 29, 2006, 09:53:12 AM Very Nice!

Made with Escape. http://quantumpyramid.com/escape/index.php Title: Re: 19th Hole Terraces - fractal zoom Post by: bradorpoints on November 30, 2006, 02:14:04 AM Really nice. The parallax scrolling in the opening was interesting. It's obvious you spent some time getting the look you wanted. You have a really good upload speed - I downloaded your high-res version at almost 500 K/sec.
Was this animtion created on a Mac? Title: Re: 19th Hole Terraces - fractal zoom Post by: ericbigas on November 30, 2006, 07:48:04 AM Thanks. Glad you saw the hi-res version. The Flash compression on Google Video (and YouTube) pretty much trashes the image details. The moire patterns become blurry, blocky mud. It was designed on a Mac, and the final 3840x2160 frames were drawn on a cluster of Macs. Escape's feature set is more limited than that of UltraFractal or Fractint, but I like zooms with a lot of parameter interpolation and Escape is well-suited for that. |
