END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

No video as yet, but things have moved on a bit. So I'd thought I'd bung a screeny over.
I've managed to get the 2D noise and derivatives down to 5 short lines of code! And it's used everywhere so things sped up quite a bit.
I've put box-bounded distance field objects in, which means I can have a DE algorithms rendering in any area of the landscape. And they only get ray-traced from withing their bounds, so they can be fast to unnoticeable on GPU, large fractals can be a bit of a struggle though.
So I can now create weird spongy creatures and giant moving sculptures on mountain tops etc, etc.
Also there's dynamic weather and lightning effects, as well as underwater and refraction. Plus subtle sound effects like wind rush and water.
A long way to go yet though... when will it ever end!!

Here's the latest with weather, water, and a distance field object:

I was pleased how the water ripples from the rain came out from just adding a random normal vector to the reflection.

I can place any de algorithm in a rotated, scaled and positioned cube. They are quite cheap to render until you get really close then the realities of realtime rendering kick in, and it can get quite slow. I've tried a mandelbox in it, which would make a great treasure chest for an adventure game, but as far zooming in, it's as expensive as expected.
It would be interesting making creatures out of distance field objects, say with mandelbulb heads!!
*edit* What do you mean by 'non-de renderer' ?

MORE COMMENTS : WHO IS IN THE FRACTAL FORUM CELEBRITY NEWS ?


The film maker shaker MAGICIAN PROGRAMMER, is in todays news!
He is experimenter, animation leader, who wrote a program, and concocted a tremendously powerful game like animation demonstrating landscapes of panic, well thought out scenes of a desolate world waiting to consume you body and soul!   Today, we look inside your movie, and see there are multi-day doom like channels, telling visual stories, in which you express your visions special darkness depending on hell like tetanus terrains with rains in the dark field of brains! Check out this mans film, it's must see yes sir ree! See this film it is one of his best!

Today we like to honor this Programmer film maker.

Greetings and Salutations,
Greetings and Salutations,
Greetings and Salutations, 2 you MASTER  DaveH : aka : David Hoskins.


We would like to present 2 you his mysterious film called : "THE  FRACTAL  TERRAIN 4, water and distance field". Rendered and created by The Master DaveH! in the year 2012 on Earth.

Intro  :

Oh rock we do see raindrops, fills spills down in worlds dark deaths, left, as the last tide of hopes, happiness gets crushed to death, like mush inside your dark doomy world, without girls, only filled with doom, in your Fractal terrains room! Do more!

 

PICTORIALITY CONSTRUCT!
Heres what we think : It is an amazing exploration safari, on which you invite us to come along. What we like is the edge, cutting our minds eyes with awesome unbelievable pictures, of your private hugger films worlds.

MUSIC CONSTRUCT :
AMBIENTAL SOUNDS OF REAL STORMS, HARNESSING THE INNER NOW EVENT IN ONES CONSCIOUSNESS, THAT ONE EXPERIENCES, IN REAL TIME, IN REAL RAIN WE HEAR IT FALLING. REAL WATER WE SENCE WE ARE GETTING WET TOO!

BACKGROUND CONSTRUCT :
[SECONDS INTO FILMS AT 2:12 ] WE LOVE THE FORE-WARD TRUST OF THE CLOUDS MOVING ABOVE THE HEAD OF THE VIEWER! Also the wispy crinklyness of your clouds, are so cool we drool!
The delectability of tonal colors are enormously harmonic, in so far as creating appropriate atmospheres are concerned. The noticeable jerkiness, of the frames, work in your favor, because it lends credence to the concept, that ones head, would be rotating sharply this way and that trying to discern what direction to take next, excellent! There is the feeling of realness, getting inbound in your expression to us, when looking in your reality exploring. Cool! The levi of excellence, you break quality wise gets the prize in our eyes, demonstrates yummy not crumy perfectly in tune, you are so far as a background sky accompaniment denoting the feeling relationship wise, with the topographies ragged desolateness, forcing the viewer to explore or die!

LIGHTING CONSTRUCT :
Lighting  comes embedded in deaths extraordinary tones of dark black glooms, in each of your picture frames! Light softly flows almost in-perceptively in gray tones of bleakality  harmonics engages a soul lost on your world of hopelessness!

Breakdown
[ seconds in to scene at 0:21 ] here : we see a landscape rapt bare, not a tree to be seen anywhere! Love the black vomit tonalities you engender, and we love the tony bonies tones black clouds doomy rowdy that permeates your skies, exciting our eyes, yes, good this game insane will be . ..and yes that little mountain in the center of the pictoriality lends mystery, love the pus soaked orchid yellow color on the mountain next to the right of the picture frame in 0:21

Breakdown analysis to be continued :











Here you can enjoy another exploration to see his artistry in his movie called the " CRAZY FRACTAL WORLD-TERRAIN RENDERING 3 ",  the snippets of his films is a real pleasure for the gamer connoisseurs eye! !

Here we see the Artist gets ambitious with a voice over offering dialogue, with musical accompaniment and at [ seconds in to scene at 1:53 ] we hear a,' humbaca,' Alien creature that is unseen speaking to us, lamenting death, as he says : " Hum maca cam muss jib," Check it out what the dudes got to say to you!

Thanks great stuff !

By real-time, do you mean you recorded the path in real-time and then rendered? Or is this how it looked as you were flying through?

is executable available for download ?!

Sidenote: if he was the type of guy who felt a need to tell you, he probably wasn't really that dangerous. The quiet professional thieves tend to do much more harm overall.

(And as much as I personally wish we could all afford to share more of our ideas, I do not condemn those who do not have that freedom.)
