END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Deepest Mandelbrot set zoom to date, but soon to be surpassed

Comparison of scale:
The universe has a volume of 3,5*10^80 m^3 while a planck space is 1,62*10^-35 m^3. So the number of space quantums that fit inside the observable universe is already very large, but now consider the number of spacetime quantums in the observable universe and its entire history too. The universe is 13,8 billion years old, while a plancktime is 5,39*10^-44 sec. That's 1,75*10^174 spacetime quantums. Take this number to the power of 8, then you're getting somewhere close to the final magnification of this zoom video.

You can also download the original video file from either 180upload or rapidshare which is 60 frames per second (youtube allows only 30). You won't miss many details, but it's much smoother and there are no compression artifacts (just the calculation inaccuracy artifacts).

thank you

The frames were rendered at 800×500 and upscaled to 1600×1000 because youtube gives better bitrate for higher resolution.

But you could easily surpass this with your program that uses the SuperFractalThing rendering method.

Wooooooohaaaaaaaaa I have just experienced warp-speed to the power of a googolplex!
Makes you think... 

Both Vids Are Amaizing , 2^5000 i didn't imagine that it was doable at this time ...

Golden Mandelbrot zoom, is Wonderfull , each step is a nice painting on itself, that's sad that you don't get rid of color stepping, smooth gradient would be much more nice to see.

HD is considered to be 1920×1080, but if you take the words "high definition" literally, it doesn't have to be a particular resolution.

From what I have read and noticed about fx is that when you create a 1280x720 movie fx creates keyframes with that resolution for every doubled zoom size, then the resulting raw movie is half size, 640x360, and then it is doubled to 1280x720 again. When I create a 1280x720 movie I render the frames in 640x360 and then double it to get the same resolution and quality. Att least I thought I'd get the same...?

When you play a fractal extreme 'movie' using the movie player press F5 to 'show polys'.
It illustrates the behaviour better than I can describe.

When you are at an integer zoom level (ie no decimals to number of zooms) the image is shown at native resolution.
As is passes the .00 zoom level the next zoom is faded in at 1/2 resolution in the centre of the frame.
The outer edges are now at a 'digital zoom', as the zoom approaches the next integer (.90) the edges show
more blur.
