Hi,
Let me suggest anttweakbar for the HUD. It's excellent even if it haven't been updated since april 2009. I've used it in an old toy project.
I've attached a modified fragment shader where I've added yet another Menger sponge formula with some variations (see this thread for details). Actually, what you get by default is a blend between a sphere and a menger sponge. Try key[1] to key[4] to change parameters. the zip contains also the config file and a shortcut (in order to use the provided config instead of the default one).
Hope you'll like it  .

thanx!

My latest boxplorer vid is 25+ mins of 720p from screen recordings I did. Enjoy!

Wow. That's almost as long as the ending of 2001. And twice as nifty.

Thanks!  I totally see the resemblance, especially in the first part.   

After being frustrated with rendering for a week to get a 2 minute animation, for once, I wanted to make a nice long movie.  I can't wait to try some other formulas - if I can find some other fragment.glsl files.  Hard to find though...  I might try to reprogram my own.  I know a bit about programming, but not much about fractal al gore rythms!

@reallybigname: i have watched the video a few times 
so far there are 5/6 of them..it's just a matter of time to see others, i think..

[reallybigname]

I've only found one other one for a sphere/box hybrid thing.  Can you point me to any more?  (or just post them)  It would also help me to program them if I have a bunch of examples.  I was looking through the original glsl file tonight at the commented options and stuff, and learning about glsl's...

there's also a bulb and 3 inside the menger-sphere! (use '#define d ...' and functions's names inside comments '//')..

Thanks!  I'll check that out.

heh, didn't think anyone would actually try that one, besides bethchen@
Cranking up the glow, eh? Nicely ominous.

Find attached a 1522+ shader w/ nicer coloring than just brown.
This time actually tested on osx as well; those shader compilers are picky..

Beth's formulas would work nicely with a cut-out view, since the slices expose our regular 2d friends.
