Living Planet - a morphing fractal entity in space

[schizo]

Welcome to the Living Planet.

This is a zoom into the upper part of the object in my Caleidoscope Eye 2 animation:
http://www.fractalforums.com/movies-showcase-%28rate-my-movie%29/caleidoscope-eye-2-morphing-mandala-1080p/

I really like the julia morphing of the original animation so I thought it would be interesting to see some more details. The julia parameters are nearly the same as in the original, but I've added a sun, some stars, color changes and hard shadows for the first time. The result is this fluid fractal entity somewhere in space.
Hope you like it.

Turn on HD!

Wow - mesmerizing!  The tone of the animation and the music are just perfect.  Well done!

Hi there,

the stereo version of the Living Planet is now available.  

The stereo effect is not always perfect because I used the Common lense type. Read this thread to know more: http://www.fractalforums.com/feature-request/problem-with-stereo-rendering-common-vs-rectilinear-lense-%28v189%29/
