3D mandelbulb

[Bent-Winged Angel]

Took over 5 hrs. to render.  I am pleased with coloring.  Iteration of 4, since I like to keep things simple!  Audio is "Jedi Mind Tricks-God of Thunder"  Please comment!

i like it, and the presentation is also nice, smooth fade in, out, nice camera path, just a little low iteration and clipping issues, but nice to watch

I need to figure out how to increase the iteration while keeping it smooth. Clipping issues?  Like the "speed bump?"  Not sure how I got that...

in my opinion this is one of your best yet! keep it up - I can see you improving and I like it!!! What software did you use?

you have to zoom in closer, every increase of iteration steps results in a new maximum zoom position
in which the shapes are "smooth", because of iteration limit, the shapes that appear ever closer to the border
are what makes it interesting - and hard to realize.

Thanks buddy!  I use ChaosPro.  LOVE IT!  Great for a beginner to try just about everything.  This is the 1st bulb video that I actually put time into.. Very time consuming.

If you want to continue playing with bulbs and other 3D fractal with much faster calculation times, you should try dedicated applications like Mandelbulber by Buddhi or Mandelbulb 3D by Jesse.

I have been using Ultrafractal since the early Mandelbulb formula was available and I guess UF is similar to Chaospro in terms of calculation time. Now with Mandelbulb 3D I can render overnight an animation which could have taken days or even weeks in Ultrafractal...

Please keep up with this pace of progression, your fractals are better and better everyday.

Thanks bib! I have learned to render overnight.

Overnight does fine until the Pc decides to do updates then has to shut off & reboot!  (shoort me now)    BTW my latest & most ambitious effort of bilb animation is posted in the bulob video section. Please take a peak!

I have to tell you bent-winged angel that I was caught out by the updates myself once. I changed the update settings to manual install to fix that problem. All in all I am very impressed with the "mandelbulber" software, especially as it now has key frame options. the ease of use of mandelbulber is to be praised as is the speed with which it renders. amazing.

I really should try "mandelbub 3d" out my self as well - I may do at the weekend

I am somewhat "addicted" to bulbs!  Playing with the parameters.  Distortion..
