  • isn't your interpolation taking a bit of an artistic licence here? there are some images that I don't think actually exist in the Mandelbrot set, like at 1:31

  • @tharqal

    The two slits at 1:31 are the consequence to the "peak fly-by" at 0:22. By the way, the "slit fly-by" at 1:31 has consequences too: the bended slits at 3:37 for example. Those and further considerations are really helpful to hit a Minibrot at a certain zoom level.

    I have to admit, that the video contains errors :-} At 3:16 there should have been a symmetry of 16 slits but the slits are not symmetrically arranged -- my fault.

  • Doing the math, and assuming the last screen is the size it is and at 96 dpi, the first screen is 8.1x10^973 times bigger than the observable universe.

    Huh.

  • A+++ Hands down, greatest zoom movie I have ever seen in my life!!! I am so glad you finished it off with the minibrot at the end.

    I have a quad-core Phenom @ 3.6Ghz, (fractal extreme, 64 bits) yet I well know the pains of slow rendering.

    Your rendering technique is gorgeous; the iteration bands are never too dense or too sparse, yet they always follow the zoom. This movie is just beyond words for me. Kudos to you as well for not cheapening the experience with crappy music. ;-)

  • this is amazing

  • What is this program? I've just started playing around with some of this stuff. I'm looking for something that can generate these and other fractals using your GPU to do the crunching.

  • Wow, what you to be ?

  • @R1ckr011 I'm just marveling at the numbers man. It is all pretty impressive. I'm sorry about the calculator man, he will be missed.

  • @TAfTfilms how am i supposed to take that XD

    BTW it was mirror :P on my other comment. I miss that calculator :'(

  • @R1ckr011 Dude...

  • this is the trippiest thing i've ever seen in my life

  • Is this the same type of rendering as they did at the beginning of The Matrix Revolutions?

  • Do the same thing but for the mini mandelbrot at the end.
