Similar to the previous renders, but with updated visuals, where the iteration count determines the colour from gold - through grey obsidian and to self illuminating red&yellow lava. A red point light without occlusion has been added at the centre of the mandelbulb to give effect of illumination from the lava below. Volumetric yellow fog is computed, where iteration count determines the density of the fog. The flight path has been smoothed using Catmull Rom splines after many suggestions over at fractalforums.com. Render time was 1:48 (hours) using a pair of ATI Radeon HD 5850s, but setting up the flight path took considerably longer.

  • would have looked much better with some anti aliasing, because the aliasing in this video is insane

  • i really hate that song is simply obnoxious

  • if you press the snow fleack botten makes it more sothing

  • Aside from all of that...cool video.

  • 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.

  • Really great!

  • Dreamscape? Really? Are you trying to troll us?

  • yes!

  • journey deep into the lungs of the lava lord

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