Very impressive, the lighting, shadows and glow really make it pop!

Wow, what very beautiful, inspiring work! I would expect no less from the guy who wrote Bryce.  Was this created with Artmatic Pro or some other cool app you have in the works? |

Thanks for the nice comments.
It was rendered with VQuartz a new (unreleased yet) application for graphic animation, montage and special effects that can animate parameters of Quartz Composer patches. So the main rendering was done in GPU through VQuartz calling Quartz Composer. The quartz composer patch is using classical DFRM (Distance field ray marching) techniques
The GPU load was so intense it would crash most of the graphic board I have but on the NVidia it worked nicely.
I m thinking to give these QC patch to the fractal forum community but i'm unsure where and how to do that yet.
The upcoming new version of ArtMatic Pro and ArtMatic Voyager will include the Mandelbox, the Mandelbulb, some of the systems I used for KleinianDreams and primitives to build all sorts of fractals. You can render in AM voyager 3D systems made in Artmatic. The DFRM implementation in VY is slow but very versatile and can produce all sorts of things including plants, animals, fractals and weird objects.
Attached a VY plant scene and a dephased Menger sponge rendered inside a VY landscape.

nice, so you mean fractals found here in the forum found their way to full fledged rendering suites  if that isnt worth mentioning in my news  |

I have a little experience with sphere inversion fractals ( see http://www.josleys.com/show_gallery.php?galid=253 ), and am wondering how the system of inversions was set up for the movie. Any chance you would share this? I see you also took a set of circles into the inversion algorithm.. |

I worked it out : I think it is the pattern in the image below.
Not sure about the circle segments and associated spheres though...
