Fractal Kaleidoscope 1 HD - Karunesh "Calling Wisdom"
Loading...
Uploaded by TheTark on Apr 26, 2010
My first attempt at creating an experience that immerses the viewer into the show by combining the visual imagery of a fractal kaleidoscope with the effects produced by the music. I have found the video is best viewed at 720p in a dark room sitting close to the screen. I am working on several others based on what I learned making this one. Please be sure to post your thoughts. Constructive criticism is always welcomed!
Thanks for watching! And be sure to share it with others.
How it was made:
I selected the base fractal image from one that I made using a fractal generation program. I then developed a technique in POVRay to create a moving kaleidoscope from an image adding texture (this video rendered on a 30-60-90 triangle image), and used the audio data from the music to determine lighting and image motion. The final sequence was constructed from 9,960 frames that took 8+ days to render in POVRay.

amazing. 2 thumbs way up :)

Fabulous! Love this stuff--video and the music, too! I was a bit startled when the throat-singer began--never heard them accompanied by instruments.

wow

Excellent music choice, sounds like Tuvan/Japanese fusion. I like how you use the flute amplitude to "push" the fractal around, and bells to light it up. Good magnification, I didn't see distracting moire, this was quite crisp and mesmerizing, very nice! Of course using a 3D raytracer to create 2D kaleidescope images is itself rather humorous and fun. - Drakonis

Wow! This is completely fantastic. I love the way you used the audio data so that that visual is synced perfectly with the audio. That's something that I've wanted to do for a long time. Did you do spectrograms on the audio? The way you did the color is amazing. Great job!

@hdcolors Thanks. Actually, I ran across a brief video that "nudeanaglyphs" made (to give him deserved credit) and borrowed the idea. I ran the audio through a frequency filter and split the audio into 9 different WAV files. Then I wrote a program that processes raw WAV data, and produced a text file containing data bundled into 1/30 sec increments. This is the data I used to "drive" the lighting and motion for each frame while rendering the images in POV-Ray.
