No Chris, is my Mandelbox mod (Kalibox) - Just to show the volumetric lighting... I'll try to do the MandelX 3D when I return home, but using bruteforce I think, I'm not so good at finding DE fórmulas...

Very nice. The volumetric lighting must be expensive. Are you taking uniform steps and then doing a shadow test for each to build it?

Thanks subblue & Syntopia!

Exactly  smiley  - Couldn't find any good optimization yet (I can think of some but none applicable to a pixel shader) - At least I use big uniform steps, then jitter the coords and use progressive rendering, so I can navigate the fractal to find the scene and then let it render. I made another version where the shadow test is made on each raystep of the DE tracing, then scaling down the raysteps a bit and doing heavy dithering... the results are acceptable but not so faster anyway.

This is too good for bad memories.  smiley

As for volumetric shadows there are some papers about the subject (for those who are interseted):

Thanks knighty smiley - As I'm not very imaginative with titles, I decided to put the first thing that came to my mind after seeing the image. And for my surprise I recalled something bad in my life, nothing terrible but an unpleasant thought... pretty weird how the mind works sometimes (specially mine  grin)

Also thanks for the info!
