Hello everyone

[Teraflop]

Hi!
I am from Munich, and have been interested in fractals for a long time, as well as the demoscene, music visualizations (plus games like Audiosurf or Beat Hazard), and computer generated art in general. After I saw the Mandelbulb somewhere, I decided to write a DirectX program to explore it a bit. Since figuring out a reasonably fast Mandelbulb distance estimation was quite a challenge, I wanted to do things a little more efficiently for the Mandelbox, and while googling, I found a good distance estimation somewhere in this forum which (after some modifications) is now fast enough for realtime exploration. So, yeah... I guess I will post some of the things I am going to discover in this forum!

So anyway, Greetings!
Teraflop.

Hello from Munich here as well (Obergiesing). I am a TUM graduate of 2001.
My "teraflop" is right at home in the form of several CUDA graphics cards.
I did Buddhabrots and realtime Mandelbulbs in CUDA.

Hello and welcome.

Should you ever care for a meet-up, I'll be happy to share what I know about fractals and DE.

Hi Teraflop,

Welcome to the forums, you've found the right place I hope. Looking forward to seeing your realtime explorer

With Regards

Hello and Welcome to the forum!

Always nice to see more folks working on Mandelbulb Software.

I hope to get a chance to play with your program when it's ready for the public

hello and welcome, please publish your work made with cuda or anything other gpu using piece of software, in my eyes there is
far to few realtime explorers ...

Nice to see two other people from Munich here I graduated recently and am now starting a PhD. Currently I am in a Wohnheim in Großhadern, but will have to move soon to some other location in the Munich area. I think a meetup would be a great idea, we should arrange something.

As for my program (Mandelflyer), well it's not really ready for public, but I uploaded it anyway, and opened a new thread for it:
