Mandelbulb flight - the lava dome

[kenzoo6]

if you press the snow fleack botten makes it more sothing

[BasherCoon]

Aside from all of that...cool video.

[BasherCoon]

Do us a favor and never, ever fucking use this music in a youtube video again. Seriously, it's one of those tracks that was once awesome, and due to overuse became the bane of existence.

[insight9111]

Really great!

[TheGNUfan]

Dreamscape? Really?  Are you trying to troll us?

[RicardoMadGello]

yes!

[yayeababy]

journey deep into the lungs of the lava lord

[DevilMaster]

I wonder if there are programs that allow real-time exploration of at least an approximation of a mandelbulb.

[marclarell]

a 180° screen in 3D with that and nobody needs drugs anymore xD

[Bertoaus]

On a HD beamer and good sound I was enjoying this masterpiece again and again. Bravo!

[brettbed]

@Boredman567 I was thinking the same thing. IMAX

[Boredman567]

I would pay money to see fractals in IMAX.

[moltenthoughts]

that was incredible i wish i was close to being able to understand how this animation

was generated

[Megatrousers]

This is what minecraft will look like in 20 years.

[crust5]

Nice vid. That's kinda what I thought a 3D mandelbrot analog would look like.

[Pianofy]

awesome

[NeuferP]

Jerry Garcia would have loved this. You kick ass shfractal!

[jayc2469]

Great visuals/vid DESTROYED with that..bloody 'song'

*muted

[Klonkiller888]

first time i heared the dreamscape song fitting :D

[choi4816]

This work of art just melted my medulla oblongata

[xxBroProductionsxx]

Probably the most ridiculous thing to have deja vu to right? well, shit happens

[hjalfi]

Is there a true HD version of this available for download? Youtube's lousy bitrate means that the 720p version is mostly hash when viewed full screen, and this would be *awesome* in full screen.

Alternatively, if this was rendered with Mandelbulber, any chance of releasing the settings files so we can render it ourselves?

[un2mensch]

R.I.P. Benoit Mandelbrot.

[jerzkid87]

to me this music is too upbeat for this trip

love the song tho

[reallybigname]

Is there anybody working on something to animate the PixelBender on a PC? I am so jealous of your rendering time! Fantastic job!

[TheShadowlin]

pretty much perfect.

[roneythetube]

amazing!!!

[capstoned]

WOW... The internal light source provides a fantastic effect with a light fog... excellent work!!

[beldar123]

A feature film of this stuff in a movie theater would be amazing!!!

[dudefrombelgium]

@beldar123

The movie would call : The Architects =p

[OSuKaRuTV]

WOW! this can perfectly be a extraterrestrial world X3

[mozzarell]

What a strange, infinite alien wilderness. Math is amazing.

[DaoDao76]

You just took me out of this world -or inside of it? :-D

[kopierjunge]

I wonder if we'll ever be able to discover this "wierd shit" in realtime.

[supergsx]

You should upload this in 3d

[phaota]

Why didn't you ever dive into the structure inside of just flying over it? I'd love to see the interior in detail.

[wladiwump]

Best 3d fractal exploration movie, ever. Really atmospheric, and the fractal stays interesting, every place is different. Love the Lava theme too, and the music just fits.

[Kinokarte]

Hm... visualizing the iteration count is a good idea! Btw., approximately how many iterations do you need per pixel (I mean the raymarching iteration, not the Mandelbulb iteration itself)?

[shinrenx]

Sweet. The 3d mandelbulbs are becoming better and better.

[Aswarp]

This is outstanding! I really don't want to think how much processing power was involved into creating this fantastic fractal landspace in so mach detail along with the orange fog effect. If anything, one could improve a little bit the camera's motion path to make it softer. Keep it up!

[AluminumStudios]

Really artistic and beautiful render. The "lava" is brilliant.

[Boredman567]

This is art.

[brotherpantichrist]

don't eat the brown broccoli!

[Colsable]

Fascinating, imagine it in 3D with mechanic seats as in amusement parks

[Vire70]

Beautiful.

[kingaspking]

what's the music? I love the ride :D

[shfractal]

The music was added with youtubes audioswap feature. The track is: Dreamscape

artist: 009 Sound System

album: Track One Recordings Vol. 1

label: Track One Recordings

[dudefrombelgium]

@shfractal

Dude do you have Psy trance

would love to see some psychedelic vids with real psychedelic music

[bkisme]

this started giving me a headache about halfway through.

[fosheezeey2]

Thats just your mind expanding, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[bkisme]

No, I think its just the effects of a silly gfx card test meant to make someone sick.

[fosheezeey2]

Hmm, it seems you don't realize the implications of what your seeing. I feel the mandelbulb 3d fractal is a landmark for humanity in our quest to realize infinity (which IMO is the soul purpose of this life.) True it doesn't compare to a hit of dmt, but it's the closest thing we've got. And that is pretty cool.

[Orenotter]

@fosheezeey2

Douglas Adams said that the best approximation we came come up with of infinity is nowhere near infinity. Actual infinity is really pretty boring.

[Truth0is0beauty]

Definately a close call between this and TwinBee's 'Into the Heart of the Mandelbulb' video for best mandelbulb video around at present (out of what I've found so far!)

[TwinbeeUK]

Oooh nice - what a roller coaster of a ride! Great toasty colouring as the others have said.

[xlace]

Fantastic glow effect and camera movement!

[EnnoGorilla]

The color palette on this one is just fantastic!

[bib993]

super cool effects and camera movement! Really an amazing video +++
