I actually did this one a while back, but as it was one of my earlier ones, I've learned a thing or two since then, so I decided it deserved to be re-rendered in higher resolution.

YouTube don't seem to have murdered it as much as they normally do, but there's still a few bits where it breaks up. Any tips on avoiding YT's compression artefacts would be gratefully appreciated.

Anyway. Enjoy.


Edit: Not sure why it hasn't embedded the video and only given the link.   Any ideas, anyone?

Looks like you used a secure link for some reason  (https: for the prefix, I just switched it to the standard http: prefix and it embedded fine   )

Like it, Luke Sleftleg The use of the Fisheye? lens is really effective

Thanks guys.

Hehe, yeah, it's getting to the point where if I don't use Fisheye, I feel like I'm missing out on all the fractal goodness going on behind me.

Yeah, I've gotta say I'm kind of coming to that conclusion myself. The only thing that keeps me coming back to YouTube is the fact that it's free, and that's it. I should really get a paid-for Vimeo account when I've got some spare cash, although I'm not sure when that'll be.

Unless anyone knows of a decent free alternative video hosting site that doesn't butcher the videos with draconian compression policies?
