Primitive sphere with reflective surface - camera moving around the object - static background.
This clip was produced using built in mandelbulber2 animation functions.

Primitive sphere with reflective surface - camera moving around the object - dynamic background.
I had to put this one together frame by frame due to the dynamic background.

The background image/animation is a flame fractal produced with flam3 scripts.

cool!! what resolution did you render the frames at?

[freakiebeat]

The mandelbulber2 animations were rendered at 1920x1080. The background [animation] was also rendered at 1920x1080 which caused [to my eye] pixelization using equirectangular background texture mapping, so my backgrounds in that mapping mode will be at least 4K resolution in the future.

Very nice effect. Beautifully done!
