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

First WIP video of my small app "fractazm" - Oculus Rift fractal explorer.

i'm trying move slowly from simple stuff to complex formulas due fps limitations for good virtual reality expierence.

this looks like it is done with boxplorer2, it features a native occulus rendering method with some nice predefined shaders

Looks cool.
Seems like you render normal stereo rectangular and then use OVR sdk to warp? That's a lot of wasted rays you are marching, no?

For boxplorer2 I pre-warp the rays and try to trace no excess pixels. Still too slow for many of the shaders.
To get eye-filling input for dk2 you'd have to render something like 2300x1500?

But yeah, knighty's pk shader is lovely efficient and mesmerizing for this stuff.

Yeah. i tried this way too and even tried mimic 3d using depth info from mandelbulb renders.

you can d/l this on vimeo in 3200x1600 res and play with something like liveviewrift - full dome.
making another one- much higher res, higher frame rate and much longer as well.
