Title: Hello everyone Post by: Teraflop on November 06, 2010, 05:36:48 PM Hi!
I am from Munich, and have been interested in fractals for a long time, as well as the demoscene, music visualizations (plus games like Audiosurf or Beat Hazard), and computer generated art in general. After I saw the Mandelbulb somewhere, I decided to write a DirectX program to explore it a bit. Since figuring out a reasonably fast Mandelbulb distance estimation was quite a challenge, I wanted to do things a little more efficiently for the Mandelbox, and while googling, I found a good distance estimation somewhere in this forum which (after some modifications) is now fast enough for realtime exploration. So, yeah... I guess I will post some of the things I am going to discover in this forum! So anyway, Greetings! Teraflop.

Hello from Munich here as well (Obergiesing). I am a TUM graduate of 2001. My "teraflop" is right at home in the form of several CUDA graphics cards. I did Buddhabrots and realtime Mandelbulbs in CUDA. Hello and welcome. Should you ever care for a meet-up, I'll be happy to share what I know about fractals and DE.

Welcome to the forums, you've found the right place I hope. Looking forward to seeing your realtime explorer With Regards Title: Re: Hello everyone Post by: hermann on November 07, 2010, 04:11:51 PM Hallo I am also from the Munic area. I live in Eching in the north of Munic.

Always nice to see more folks working on Mandelbulb Software. I hope to get a chance to play with your program when it's ready for the public O0 Title: Re: Hello everyone Post by: cKleinhuis on November 07, 2010, 09:22:32 PM hello and welcome, please publish your work made with cuda or anything other gpu using piece of software, in my eyes there is
far to few realtime explorers ... :D Title: Re: Hello everyone Post by: Teraflop on November 08, 2010, 01:27:24 PM Nice to see two other people from Munich here :) I graduated recently and am now starting a PhD. Currently I am in a Wohnheim in Großhadern, but will have to move soon to some other location in the Munich area. I think a meetup would be a great idea, we should arrange something. As for my program (Mandelflyer), well it's not really ready for public, but I uploaded it anyway, and opened a new thread for it: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-software/mandelflyer-a-directx-based-real-time-mandelbox/ |
