Fractal Omega Racer - Mandelbox Hybrid - Normal and Stereo

Fractal Omega Racer - Mandelbox Hybrid - Normal and Stereo

Started this animation somewhen in 2012 and now more than 2 years later I have finished it. 
Again a flight into my beloved combination of 4 formulas (AmazingBox, _AmazingBoxSSE2, addC, sinY).
Searched a while to find a good map for the diffuse color.
An invisible positional light that does the journey in front us provide a sheen on the surface. But this effect is a bit lost due to the compression at youtube.
I have the feeling that the quality of the stereo version is a bit better.

Rendering time: 30 days for the stereo version. One of my longest renderings.
Alias of 2 was needed to get it smooth. Wasn't that easy to get a good quality with an "acceptable" rendering time.

Sorry for some artifacts and two collisions at the beginning. Noticed them at the final highres rendering and was too lazy to rerender the first part.

Turn on fullscreen and HD!

fantastic, #info you can now post youtube videos directly to the gallery, providing you fractalforums internal voting and commenting system
this can be done in the user galleries where you can sort your uploads now - thought i point you on that because you have a nice collection that would be nice to have in one place

[cKleinhuis]

very cool, the infinite roads, you can make nice trips along those roads

i think kali/eiffie used a similar fractal

and shadertoy (remember: "synthclipse" can import the shadertoy scripts directly and let you modify/render the results!!!)

Really cool formula,

very nice path, through the shapes.
Also like the colorsceme

Fantastic! I hadn't been back to visit the forums in almost a year and was hoping to find something like this. The aesthetic is very well chosen and the shapes and route are stunning. Thanks for posting. I wish there was an easy way for people to post high-quality video files that we could download without the youtube compression, I would love to have a good-quality render to save and watch again.

Thank you for the comment 
Well, somebody else also asked for a better download. Anybody knows a free and reliable hoster?
