Wow! Wonderful rendering! Lycium, did you render this using raytracing with radiosity? Final effect is amusing. It is worth waiting for it whole day.

thanks yes, it has global illumination with unlimited number of light bounces. the fractal iteration is done in double precision to 8 iterations, so it takes a very long time to compute!

finally, after a day of rendering:
I couldn't resist doing something similar, so here's a slightly different view of a very simple crater lake but just plain Phong using 2 remote light sources - one to get the shadows and the other a source from the camera direction to get pseudo-global illumination. Resized to 1280*960 from the original rendered on my 3GHz P4HT in double-threaded mode @3840*2880 in 3hrs 7mins. If no image above or to see the full 1280*960 version then go here: http://makinmagic.deviantart.com/art/Crater-Lake-139108178

Good stuff above - like the perspectives. Karl, you posted the below earlier on in the thread - do you know the equivalent for the power 3 formula? if( abs(y) < really_small_value ) newx = x*x-z*z newy = 0 newz = -2*z*sqrt(x*x) else other code

@twinbee:
Hi Dan,
Thats easy to do: To get rid of that not-really-existing pole on the z-axis you simply set y=0 in the formulae, that gives: if( abs(y) < really_small_value ) newx = ( x^3 - 0 ) * ( 3*z^2 - x^2 - 0 ) / ( x^2 + 0 ) = x*( 3*z^2 - x^2 ) newy = 0 newz = z * ( z^2 - 3*x^2 ) else (other formulae) endif
That's all...
Hope that helps, have fun
Karl

is it a bird is it a plane? Nice work

Hi all, finally got around to being patient enough to get a pretty decent animation of the degree 4:
http://www.youtube.com/v/hwnAKFlXmtA&rel=1&fs=1&hd=1Hope you like it - it took aaround 55 hours to render (500 frames @640*480) on this decrepit 3GHz P4HT. Apologies for the odd error here and there - and for the aliasing - I plan on doing a re-render at work on Steve's MacPro @1280*960 with the "accuracy" setting increased - to be resampled down to 640*480. Am working on my WIP formula adding extra (simple) objects to go in the background to act as shadow receptors and/or mirrors.

Hi Paul - is that animated by just varying the 4th dimension coordinate ? If so you may get a more interesting animation by rotating the 3rd spatial axis as a line from the 3rd fractal axis to the 4th fractal axis (i.e. as a line in the j,k plane through 90 degrees from the j axis to the k axis).

It is a 3D "slice" of the 4D object starting from w=0, and then rotating to z=0, then rotating to y=0, then rotating to x=0, and finally rotating back to w=0 again.

OK - I guess I should have investigated first

Here are some higher power variations of Twinbee's Mandelbrot set using the following formula: {x,y,z}^n = r^n{cos(n*theta)cos(n*phi),sin(n*theta)cos(n*phi),-sin(n*phi)} r=sqrt(x²+y²+z²), theta=atan(y/x), phi=atan(z/sqrt(x²+y²))
These higher order 3D Mandelbrot sets were created using the same formula as above, except the sign of the z-component is switched (the rotation about the y-axis is reversed): {x,y,z}^n = r^n{cos(n*theta)cos(n*phi),sin(n*theta)cos(n*phi),sin(n*phi)} r=sqrt(x²+y²+z²), theta=atan(y/x), phi=atan(z/sqrt(x²+y²))

Like the anim! (still want a zoom in tho). Interesting image too - didn't realise there were big gaping holes in the object as shown. Curious... Lycium, is that a special kind of lighting used to create the more 'polarized' look (black/white), rather than for more grey shades? It'll be interesting to see some (apx.) pow 20 renders of this thing
