Mutatorkammer 3d Movies

[cKleinhuis]

Hello

I have managed to render some 3d movies straight out of Mutatorkammer

Here are some preview images

WOW!

You got the 3D working smoothly!! Very Impressive!!

I can't wait to play with this aspect myself!

You make me wish I studied computers instead of chemistry!!

*psst* coding is much much easier

@lyc: indeed 

i made just another movie

WOW, these are Outstanding!

I love how smooth and fluid they are.

thank you, here is an endless heart zoom, which might interest you also

While I lack the expertise of trifox, I still try these things!

Here's a short "Blender" type 3D Animation made with the latest Mutatorkammer:

I'm still working on centering the image in open GL and it needs better lighting, but I like it!

It looked better large and uncompressed...

Still...

Weeee!

Speaking of Weeee...

I was trying to get a better idea of how the program works by taking an image based formula and removing the image - leaving just the fractal.  That's how I got the 3D Animation.

That's the original 2D Photo-Based Animation. Might as well post it.

It's that Beautiful Woman with whose Image I keep making stuff!

I never claimed to be sane.

What would be the point?

Nobody would believe me anyway...

I took an old 2D animation and let it render in 3D...  just to see what happened.

Here it is:

Odd results!!

I like Odd results!!

Trifox,

Wow, what can I say? I'm a sucker for these kind of animations, especially when the frame-rate is as smooth as you have made them. I love the colour schemes you have given each one too, especially that blue/cream/chocolate one.

Suggestions? It's good that you're exploring different types of camera movement (zoom/pan etc.), but it would be nice if each movement gradually smoothed into the next type of movement. Like by using B-Spline curves or something.

Also, the iteration rate seems a little low for some of them - we're getting rounded off hills and valleys, but maybe it can't be helped as speed and the general look would suffer with more iters? Any way of removing the bubbling/boiling effect down at the tiny details by the way (not that I don't like it) ?

Keep up the good work. The way the 'mountains' shrink in each gives them a strange perspective - it's so cool. That 3D Mandelbrot mountain is possibly the best of its type I've ever seen!

PS. Xvid is supposed to have better video quality than Divx...

hey, thank you very much ...

a word about iteration depth when rendering 3d animations:
the problem with higher iteration values is simply that those deep iterated values produce high frequent noise, meaning, the bulbs would bubble up and down randomly, so i choosed to use a slow increase in iteration depth, so that it matches the current zoom state ...

a word about smoothing animation pathes:
in mutatorkammer you can use hermite splines, catmull rom splines and linear interpolation, by now, the problem when you see the stepping is, that the zoom is an exponentional interpolation, wich i did not have managed to interpolate smoothly ... ;( if anyone could give me some hints it would be great ...

a word about camera pathes:
i love the rotations...

a word about divx
i have been using divx since 7 years now, but they are annoying me a little bit with their encoding restrictions, is xvid free ? if yes i will give it a try ...
and don't blame the original codec when watching flash movies

if you really like the movies, and the program, i would welcome you as a fractalmovies.com user, to post suggestions directly there, and hit me with a hammer on the head for stupid user interface on mutatorkammer ... i am starting to refactor the mutatorkammer software this year, to provide cool layering functions and stuff ... ;9

i would like to point you to the quasi-quaternion 3d rendering method, a bit like xenodream
