Title: Hello from Paris ! Post by: AlphonseLavallee on February 12, 2011, 06:19:05 PM Hello! I am an occasional fractal
Even if I am more known on deviantArt for my anthropomorphic drawing, I recently tried to make panoramic representations of the Mandelbulb. Here is an example... (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/195389342/) Of course the rendering isn’t very aesthetic compared to what could be obtain with some software, yet the pleasure of writing his own code is priceless... :dink: I was also wondering if there is other people working on 360° panorama of the Mandelbulb? Title: Re: Hello from Paris ! Post by: Sockratease on February 12, 2011, 10:19:57 PM Hello and Welcome!
I've been meaning to try some sort of panoramic render eventually so I can use it in my 3D work, but have not yet done so, or even tried to learn how to about it. Maybe you can teach us how! Title: Re: Hello from Paris ! Post by: bib on February 12, 2011, 11:50:26 PM Welcome, bienvenue :)
I played with this idea a while ago: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulb-renderings/test-panorama/ Title: Re: Hello from Paris ! Post by: Jameses on February 13, 2011, 08:40:20 AM you may want to considder the definition of 'amateur'. most of us here are!

@Sockratease: Thank you. It seems that panoramic version of the Mandelbulb aren't very common. I tryed different way, like coding my own program (http://alphonselavallee.deviantart.com/art/Source-program-198028772) (it isn't very optimized and only return a z-buffer) or using software developed by others (Mandelbulber, Autostitch). The best solution would probably be to integrate an equirectangular geometry in the Mandelbulber sources... (it is easier to say than to do, I know) @bib: Merci. Your example is quite interesting. Did you already try to render a panorama on a full sphere (360° x 180°) ? @Jameses: Please, forgive my lack of tact... :embarrass: Title: Re: Hello from Paris ! Post by: ant123 on March 01, 2011, 11:11:39 AM for a panoramic experience it is possible to run the boxplorer program, http://www.mediafire.com/?tefc2n7izmm76mr
you need a very fast graphics card but the renders are pretty joli. Title: Re: Hello from Paris ! Post by: bib on March 01, 2011, 11:16:56 AM @bib: Merci. Your example is quite interesting. Did you already try to render a panorama on a full sphere (360° x 180°) ? No, the program I use (Panorama maker) does not allow this. |
