Amazing 3Light and Bacterius II - technology meets biology

[schizo]

Hello fractalists,

hope you had a great christmas time. I had and as a kind of tradition the computer rendered fractals during this time Still remember christmas, when I was 12 (1988) and our first "full graphic" computer slowly rendered fractals pixel by pixel but this was more interesting than the christmas presents.  

So here are two new HD videos which I would characterize as "technology meets biology".

The first one "Amazing 3Light" is the tech-style - another flight into my beloved combination: AmazingBox, _AmazingBoxSSE2, addC, sinY
3 positional lights spice up the scene. First I also wanted to add reflections but didn't because of calculation time.

The second one "Bacterius II" is more bio-style. It reminds me of a black smoker. A hydrothermal vent that can be found on the seabed. These are the biosphere for some very special forms of life and maybe even the source of life on earth.
It's the same starting point as in my previous video "Bacterius", but enters another section of the scene and has different colors.

Enjoy HD and fullscreen.

Wish you all a fantastic and creative year 2013.

Great memories here too of discovering graphics programming but I was 12 in the 70's so just to make a pong game you needed to learn machine language. Fun times and I still find this more interesting than material things!
