Pretty sure I'm still doing it wrong:

Code:
float base_DE = KaleidoIcosaDE(p);
float DE_scale = 0.1f;

return base_DE * DE_scale;

Isn't 0.1 "fudge factor" really bad? Anyway, that's 3 bounces diffuse GI (there is a full material system, but only using diffuse/Lambertian), 8 minutes rendering on a single GTX 970 in 34 C ambient temperature  fiery

At some point I wish to beg the gods of distance estimation for help figuring out how I'm doing DE so badly...

5 bounces, 1024 samples per pixel, 5 minutes rendering.

That's fast; I'm still below two frames per hour. :-)

I think on a pair of overclocked Titan X this thing would be near realtime at 1080p if using a few spp and temporal reprojection.

The last image is just (?) 5 minutes, again on a single GTX 970 at stock clocks. I can't wait for winter to overclock this GPU, but goddamn is it hot/humid in Berlin at the moment...

pics look promising, as far as i understand, the fudge factor can be used to avoid overstepping, having a concrete distance estimation allows it for beeing 1.0 e.g simple geometry like balls/squares and some fractals deliver mostly correct distances, so stepping the amoung returned by the de is just fine

there has been an improvement algorithm to take bigger steps, which has eiffie visualised in this shadertoy and gives 10 percent stepping improvement

I tried the SOR approach from cupe/mercury, but it's sort of tuned for screenspace not indirect rays... will give that another try later (since it's something like cone tracing with analytic LOD, which is great).

What's really needed for specular reflections is root refinement, which he also covers in the paper.

For a Kaleidoscopic IFS DE_scale should be set to 1 or a slightly less than that. Could we see KaleidoIcosaDE(p)'s implementation?
