GigaBroccoli: work in progress

This video shows a Mandelbulb fractal rendered in real-time into my CUDA GigaVoxels engine.
The Mandelbulb is a 3D Mandelbrot set computed using Triplex numbers. It is generated procedurally and on the fly on the GPU by a GPU producer thats subdivide and fill the octree with voxels. Only non-empty and non-occluded region is subdivided allowing very deep zooms.

What do you mean by fake ? This ie verry much real! Check out the other GigaVoxel videos or his site and see... Fake my ass!

This is the beauty of working (pause for emphasis) UNLIMITED detail.

@sumofsumstuff

it shows infinity as these structures have a infinite perimiter and therfore show how the multiverse oculd be infinite

@sumofsumstuff Mathematicians like them because they are interesting mathematically. Artists like them because they are beautiful. Science fiction animators will be using them soon.

what is the point of this? i see alot of these but i dont see how they could be used in any way

Mandelbulbs and fractals freak me out. I always feel like I'm going to get sucked into one of the facets and come out the other end deformed, like that dude from The Enigma of the Amigara Fault.

Anyone else here the music from the beginning of Zelda OoT, when Navi is flying to Link's house?

[LeeAlacoque]

How do you do modeling with voxels?

[coolymichael]

this would be a cool planet..

The Buddha of Broccoli :D
