get a grip

http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14881

couldn't resist trying the full muscle of the opencl-mode in mandelbulber grin

full AO and volumetric fog are turned on here @ 3072x2304
I like the cartoonesque style

A significant difference between cpu and cl mode seems to be the treatment of color palettes.
I mostly work with custom made palettes at color speeds of around 100. With theese settings the results are a complete different talk.
Rendering Time - 1:44h on a radeon 5770
estimated Time on a Phenom II x6 1055 - ~5h

have fun!

Definitely looks like some sort of synthetic and pliable substance is coated on, and holding together, the more firm but deteriorating rock like structures. cheesy

Nice Image reminds me of lichen structure. The fog effect has turned out well.

hmmm wonder if I can get opencl on my graphics card
feeling I maybe out of luck there.

nice one. just out of curiosity, the tooltip for the AO quality value gives an example range of 1-30, by "full AO" do you mean you set this value to 30? if i try using higher values there my mandelbulber crashes. im not sure if that means i need more system memory or more video memory or what. i have a 1gb nvidia 550 and 4gb system memory

also curious if you could post a comparison pic (could be low res render) just to compare the difference between cl and cpu rendering. i cant even do cpu rendering on my old athlon 2 core, if cl mode takes 1.5 hours then trying the same settings in cpu mode says it will take 5000 hours, i tried letting it run overnight once and it got to 1% and the ETA was still steadily climbing, shocked

Thanks a lot people appreciate your interrest.
@alij: why should you be out of luck? Buddhi is working on nVidia compatibility and I'm sure he'll succeed soon.

@quaz0r: no, full ao means real ao - neither screenspace ao nor fastmode ao. Normally I use quality 5 for ao. It's the best compromise between quality and rendering time.
a comparison pic is attached here: http://www.fractalforums.com/releases-b233/mandelbulber-1-17-opencl/msg66038/#msg66038

Hi I'm all a bit tangled up with debian OS I will take some time out to see if I can get it installed
There are a few gpu rendering things I would like to try

nice comparison pics

Man this shouldn't be a problem. Afaik Buddhi's favorite os is debian - in most cases bug reporting grants you some support...
