Mandelbox (based on "futurism" by Still)

This is a fly-through a 'mandelbox' fractal.

It's based on the 1KB demo by Still called 'futurism', so not really my work. I ported it to GLSL, and set it up in Quartz Composer (part of the Mac OS X SDK) for convenience.

Can you explore this in real time or do you have to render it offline?

[psonice]

@metabog it's realtime. If you have a mac, check out the kineme.net link in the description, you'll find a realtime version there.

That is absolutely amazing. Is it all quartz?

[psonice]

@decodingsand Yeah. In fact 99% of it is just a single GLSL shader. I've updated the description with a link to the .qtz and proper crediting (this isn't really my work, I just ported it to QC).

@psonice I don't have a Mac. However, I'm a programmer and musician and I'd be interested in making some kind of real time visualization based on these algorithms by sending OSC messages to the renderer from Max/MSP. I've been checking out these videos for a few days and my mind is blown every time. Thanks for the video.

smooth :-) I find if I dumb down some of the iterative levels it really flies.
