This is my first animation rendered using my new program. I implemented analytic DE (http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/true-3d-mandlebrot-type-fractal/msg8346/#msg8346 - with some improvements) with dynamic threshold adjusted for each pixel according to perspective factor (depth) and zoom ratio. Ambient occlusion is generated using point traps (thanks David for help). Rendering speed is better than in my old programs but still to slow for real time animation (around 5 - 10 second per frame in resolution 1280x720)

Please watch it in HD mode.

Noone has commented here yet so I'll chime in just to say that technically this is beautifully done, congratulations, the perspective is very convincing. I would love to see your program render a more interesting curved "flight path".

Great. At the end, after the 90° turn, I thought the camera would still progress and turn around the minibulb. smiley

This new animation is not with straight path. I made some program to create flight path through Mandelbulb. First I rendered this animation in interactive mode in very low resolution and save camera position for each frame. Next this path was played in final resolution.
This is my first animation made in this way and I know that camera movement is not perfect. This animation would be longer but unfortunately I deleted last 1000 frames by mistake  undecided

It's great! I loved seeing the shadows whizzing by. I was yelling "Look down! Look down!" for the last bit where not very much of the mandelbulb was visible.

Probably you could smooth the flight path between the stage of creating it in low-res and rerendering it in high-res?

Congrats.

I tried to render power 2 Mandelbulb using your formula but fractals look very strange. I converted your DE to Daniel's (Tweenbe) formula and now it is possible to render z^2+c fractal. I tested lots of estimators on 2D slices and I this was the most accurate (but still not perfect). Most of estimators work only very well for high powers (>4). During rendering z^2+c fractal for z=0 there is no problem but for higher values of z these estimators generates lots of artefacts.

There is my version of DE below

Code:
p = 6.0; //mandelbulb power

x = a;
y = b;
z = c;
dzx = 1;
dzy = 0;
dzz = 0;
r_dz = 1;
ph_dz = 0;
th_dz = 0;

r = sqrt(x * x + y * y + z * z);

for (L = 0; L < N; L++)
{
r1 = pow(r, p - 1);
r2 = r1 * r;
th = atan2(y, x);
ph = -atan2(z, sqrt(x * x + y * y));
p_r1_rdz = p * r1 * r_dz;
ph_phdz = (p - 1.0) * ph + ph_dz;
th_thdz = (p - 1.0) * th + th_dz;
dzx = p_r1_rdz * cos(ph_phdz) * cos(th_thdz) + 1.0;
dzy = p_r1_rdz * cos(ph_phdz) * sin(th_thdz);
dzz = p_r1_rdz * sin(ph_phdz);
r_dz = sqrt(dzx * dzx + dzy * dzy + dzz * dzz);
th_dz = atan2(dzy, dzx);
ph_dz = -atan2(dzz, sqrt(dzx * dzx + dzy * dzy));

x = r2 * cos(p * ph) * cos(p * th) + a;
y = r2 * cos(p * ph) * sin(p * th) + b;
z = r2 * sin(p * ph) + c;
r = sqrt(x * x + y * y + z * z);

if (r > 1e15)
{
dist1 = r;
dist2 = r_dz;
distance = r * log(r) / r_dz;
break;  
}
}

Maybe there is somebody who knows proper distance estimator for z^2+c

}
}

Maybe there is somebody who knows proper distance estimator for z^2+c

First off the distance estimate should be:

      distance = 0.5*r * log(r) / r_dz;

secondly the distance you actually step should normally be less than this for accuracy, e.g. multiply by 0.5 again - better still allow a user "accuracy" parameter.

Also I found that to get the DE correct I had to multiply the DE by sqrt(p-1) where p is the power:

      distance = 0.5*sqrt(p-1)*r * log(r) / r_dz;

The sqrt(p-1) was arrived at by experimentation and works well for me smiley

David, you have right. Multiplier should be 0.5. On last animation I observed some artefacts and with 0.5 it looks better.
