Title: "19th Hole Terraces" fractal zoom in HD (XviD and H.264) Post by: ericbigas on January 02, 2007, 12:38:12 PM Now available in high-definition 720p XviD and H.264 (x264) at http://ericbigas.com/fractals/19ht
This is the zoom I entered in the Biocursion DVD contest (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=383.0). 2 minutes; no sound; low-resolution version on Google Video at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8556043221629997664&hl=en I believe this is the first fractal zoom distributed in HD. The only other HD fractal animations I know of are the Dreams in High Fidelity flames at http://hifidreams.com (click on the images on the left), though electric shepherd Scott Draves says flames aren't fractals (http://draves.org/blog/archives/000459.html).

How long did it take to render? If I did something like that with Ultra Fractal it would've taken about a year. Title: Re: "19th Hole Terraces" fractal zoom in HD (XviD and H.264) Post by: Sockratease on January 03, 2007, 10:54:10 AM I'm glad the high speed conection is working today!
That was wonderful!! Something to which to aspire... Title: Re: "19th Hole Terraces" fractal zoom in HD (XviD and H.264) Post by: ericbigas on January 03, 2007, 01:23:29 PM Thanks much to you both.
It took about two weeks to draw the frames for this movie, Zoom. By the way, I really like how that long red M-set spike in "Mandelnautics 2" spins out from the centerpoint like a jet's contrail against the blue sky.

Thanks! I was just borrowing a page from that Mandelbrot documentary from years ago for which Pink Floyd did the music. They had lots of renders like that. |
