HowTo: build a dalek

Knighty's script modified by Crist-JRoger + 4D Quaternion Julia PseudoKleinian
A fascinating object, worth exploring, presented here in it's simplest form?

thought I should share the settings...

30 seconds @ 25 fps = 750
the observer floats in a circle around the epicenter while C.x is sin(-2. -> +2.) and C.y is cos(-3. -> +3.)
the EasingCurve settings increment C.x and C.y

#endpreset

paste this at the end of the above mentioned fragment and load it with the 3dickulus version of Fragmentarium

I also increased the MaxRaySteps limit in DE-Raytracer.frag to 5000 (was 2000)

Code:

// Maximum number of  raymarching steps.
uniform int MaxRaySteps;  slider[0,56,5000]

Thank you Christ-JRoger for the 4D Quaternion Julia mod

very cool
