Rendered this thing in 4 days/nights with Mandelbulb 3D while I was visiting my friends and family over christmas time.
4001 Bitmaps @ 1600x1200 with 2x Antialiasing.
The video was 1,5 GiB before Youtube downgraded it to a 500 MiB version called "Original", but at least it has kept it's resolution.
Audio: Eat Static & Lucas - Troglodyte
Parameters are attached.

Really like the part from 1:15 to end. At 2:10 you can fly through a portal
The color-change at 2:32 comes from increasing the iteration-count. Having in mind that the video is only 2:42 it sounds unneccessary, but maybe I will continiue to render someday.

Beautiful animation, I really loved it after 1mn05, incredible structures and the shiny color map fits very well with the decadent architecture

Beautiful - i love these architectural looking ones!

Very nice.

How did you create left and right frames? (Just by rotating the bulb in y axis?)

Yay, thanks alot for your feedback
The color map is the standard metallic preset.
@miqel: Nice webpage btw.

Very nice.

How did you create left and right frames? (Just by rotating the bulb in y axis?)

I've set sliding+movement step to 5 and looking+rolling angle to 1, moved 1 step to the right and rotated 1 step with j to the left, to simulate two crossing eyes.
But rotating the bulb would have been easier, didn't thought about that

By the way, you're thread on stereo-images has motivated me to try it out myself. First time I got the cross-eye-view to work. I was really impressed, also by your beautiful pictures

Thinking about rendering the animation a second time with slightly moved keyframes.
Does it work if you do this transformation with each keyframe, or does it produce interpolation irregularities?

edit: Should work. Asked the guy who created this video:

Thank you for your explanation. Yes, rotation of the bulb is effective. The only problem is parallax will be more if the rotation angle is more.
