kaini Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 presently rendering a 100 megapixel mandelbox (10,000 x 10,000) for the purposes of making a big, big (hardcopy) picture the detail is fucking incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 new beta of the sw i use out. it is much faster and has funky new light and shadow effects: i could actually imagine real-time exploration, within limits, within a year; loads of people are optimising the hell out of the maths on this now.

kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 and a new variant of the formula, which may be the definitive cthulhu asshole: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 and finally a focus on the rosebud yes! glad to have something with organic properties that is a bit different to the regular power8 bulb to mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 attached - 2 greyscale pdfs - (both 7x5 A4 pages i thin. designed to be made into a big ass picture, obv.) the 'pixel size' in the first is 5mm, the second 3mm i feel the much bigger one is definitely the better of the two (duuuh) boneyardv3.pdf 100mpx.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 dude, a 30 page long pdf, wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 it's meant to be pasted together collage-like. it's a 7x5 grid of A4 landscape pages. designed to look good from a distance, even though the 'pixels' are big. bar paying a fucking fortune to a professional printer, i can't think of a better way to get this stuff into a large format.

kaini Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I love reading these guys work through these things: http://www.fractalforums.com/3d-fractal-generation/the-mandelbox-is-tenuous/ To be honest just looking at the transforms that make up the Mandelbox formula I would expect it to be made up of Cantor Dust.As to the appearance of renders using my formula but with a high "min. iterations" value, I think the result is more of an issue of very small points being missed by the render - i.e. it is Cantor Dust but there should be a lot more of it. this guy is on the ball, i've seen cantor-dust-like phenomenon all over the place inside the mandelbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatorin Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 let me make an analogy the mandelbrot is to 1990's psychedelia as the mandelbulb is to 2010's psychedelia I love that the mandelbulb came around when it did. I also love how it was used in FlyLo's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCyv05SG1g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 thank you kaini, that was fantastic! I really think the invention/discovery of mandelbulb/box should be on the top of everyone's year end list, before assange and facebook and whatnot (though I can't remember if it was last year, lol).

cruising for burgers Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 i would love to understand a bit more about this. i've read about it but i couldn't take much conclusions and i've tried to create one with a prog, with no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 i love the fact that with most other natural patterns - fractal broccoli, the golden ratio - people go "ooh, what symmetry, what proportion, how harmonious!" But with this all you can say is "omfg cthulu's infinite ass aaaaagh!" So otherworldly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 yep. it blows my mind that this has always been there. people have hacked through jungles to find ancient temples... and all the while there's been crazy temples waiting for them within a bunch of relatively simple iterative transformations.

lumpenprol Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 exactly. I'm even more impressed now that people seem to be able to tweak the formulas to switch between "hard" box shapes and bulb shapes at will...it really seems to me there should be some practical application to all this besides the pretty pictures...like we should be able to use these formulas to bend space and time and create warp drive or something...

kaini Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 exactly. I'm even more impressed now that people seem to be able to tweak the formulas to switch between "hard" box shapes and bulb shapes at will... this sacrifices the mathematical purity of the original mandelbulb equation though. arguably only the original has any theoretical worth, and even that involves some fudging (because 2-d (complex) and 4-d (quaternion) number systems are quite developed, but surprisingly 3-d ones are not). not complaining though! this has a mandelbox transform (in itself a mutant mandelbulb transform) followed by a menger sponge transform, which is a much older branch of fractal maths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
