Amazed & Confused
Thanks to the miracle of real-time 3D fractal exploration that is boxplorer, I am able to bring you this 25 minute psychedelic exploration into the world of the Amazing Box 3D fractal in 720p HD. So, light up, or drink up, or whatever you do, and sit back and enjoy the ride!

All of the source footage was recorded in real-time with boxplorer using a Radeon HD 5830 on a meager dual-core Athlon x2 with 4gb of ram. There are no smooth motion paths because its being done live, using a Cordless Rumblepad 2 to control the motion. I'm also reaching over to the keyboard to adjust parameters at the same time. Compositing, motion blur and other effects were done afterwards.

Wow, 25 minutes in 720p, impressive !

I'm downloading it right now so I won't comment it it until tomorrow :)

Too late, you just commented! jk... Actually, I'm just posting to say that if you download the original, you'll need divx to play it.  :fiery:

Wow, YouTube is letting me do more than 15 minutes now!!!

Yep, I did an almost 26 minute vid on YT.  But, Vimeo is still better because they allow 60fps as far as I know.  However, this video is only 30fps, so it doesn't really matter:

Make sure to watch fullscreen in HD!:

does anybody know how to fix that "fullscreen" embedding !?

Hey, I fixed it!  You can embed HD YouTube!  (see above)

I don't know why I never thought of this before - after all, I am a web designer...  You can embed YouTube with HD & fullscreen buttons by using the "insert flash" button in the message editing options!
It's on the very left and looks like this: (http://nocache-nocookies.digitalgott.com/Themes/dilbermc/images/bbc/flash.gif)

What you have to do is get the "embed" code from youtube (make sure to check the HD checkbox), which will look like this:


But, that code doesn't work on here.  So, what you do is take the url from the first "value=" attribute, and put it inside the flash tag.  You also have to specify the size you want it to show in the flash tag (see example below).  I chose 960x540 because its small enough to fit on most people screens, and has the same proportion as my video.

Everything after the "?" is an attribute that tells the youtube flash what to do, separated by "&" (which is just the embed-safe version of "&")

• "fs=1" means to include the fullscreen button
• "hd=1" means to play in HD, and include the HD switching button
• "hl=en_US" is the language, although I think you could actually remove that part and it would still work fine

So, in the end, my code looked like this (which I'm using the code tag to show you):


So glad I figured that out!   (http://reallybigname.com/renders/fractalforums/weed-smiley.png)

Impressive that you can record in such quality. I like the melting psychedelic effect a lot. It must be really fun to navigate into this box in realtime !

I'm saving this for the weeeekend
