Description
Peering through snowflake ridges.
Named after song by The Synthetic Dream Foundation.
Inspired by Rise [link]
, which caused me much "wtf?? how did you do that?" for a long time. I believe this uses pretty much the same technique.
RIFS shape by Cabrelli et al. Intersection algorithm by John C. Hart. As the image is symmetric I only rendered half of it, at 4X res in 31 hours on a 2.6GHz quad core CPU with Pane, then mirrored with imagemagick and then gimp for levels and watermark. Lighting is ambient white light with lambertian reflection and unbiased path tracing.
