rendered with my toy rendering system, allura.

updated with a 3840x2400 resolution image.

no postprocessing, except for the title.

looks great

though it would be cool if there was something recognizable to reflect

(sky is nice but.... so.... uniform^^)

lycDec 11, 2009

thanks, and i agree: different lighting (and diffuse material) would have worked better.

I appreciate a lot your work and all that you do in the 3D fractal rendering

lycDec 7, 2009

hehehe thanks, though i really just mess around on my own... for now

hopefully someday i can do more for others in this respect.

its huge! fantastic.

lycNov 25, 2009

appreciated!

i've worked on this since, and will have it rendering nearly realtime soon thanks to the help of others and gpu supercomputing

brutal!

Looks incredible, so crisp and shiny! Nice render, i like the depth of field effect a lot!

lycNov 18, 2009

thanks man

i think i may have gone a bit overboard on the high-detail fx here, if you look at today's daily deviation of the same object you'll see what i mean.

That is some very fine render work your doing

I am still interested in hearing your idea for a faster apophysis rendering

lycNov 16, 2009

thanks

btw i don't aim to accelerate apophysis, but replace it...

MobilelectroNov 17, 2009

That would be great if importing flame files were possible. Otherwize all previous work is unuseable. Also having a way to use plugin variations really helped apophysis grow faster. Anyway I look forward to seeing what you come up!

lycNov 18, 2009

importing flames is possible, but right now i only support linear "variations". once the data is imported, however, many new possibilities are opened (not just ultrafast rendering).

sooo, from you i need to know which variations and features to support - a flame file (i'll sign whatever NDA you like

) to test compatibility and we're away

i need someone to champion this thing if i'm gonna carry on with it, right now it looks like 3d rendering will swallow me completely since i have no impetus to develop further develop this without being a user myself.

MobilelectroNov 23, 2009

I use just about every feature and most of the variations in apo.

The only one I do not use anymore is the mutation feature.

I am away for a few weeks so when I get home I will follow up on this more

This is quite amazing and almost looks analogue/organic. Love it.

lycOct 11, 2009

thanks

greyfinOct 10, 2009

i like the rough, distorted style.

lycOct 11, 2009

thank you

rendertime for the 3840x2400 one?

lycOct 10, 2009

umm, something like 5 days nonstop on an i7

it's using an extremely high precision surface representation, and full double precision for the fractal iteration and rendering computations. it could all be a whole lot faster, but then i just turn up the quality settings again...

nnq2603Oct 21, 2009

, long time indeed. Ah, what's these 'center' area of this structure? (I mean the part of surface that seem reflect white & blue color quite much)... Level of details is pretty high as your usual render

B0073DOct 10, 2009

Veeeeery nice.

! How long did Allura take to cook this one?

lycOct 10, 2009

something like 5 days of continuous rendering
