Astonishing 3D mandelbrot renderings

category: general [glöplog]
Looks surprisingly fresh and organic considering that it's based on the good old Mandelbrot formula.

those are pretty great
and again, it's proven: it's all about the colors and lighting you pick for it.

scientists usually choose coder colors
awesome renders.

yeah garjaj: seems litging is the factor no1
very baroque/rococo :P
gargaj has leading. I must say that the images disgust me. They're gorgeous, but somehow very very disturbing. Hence someone should make a demo about (and with) these ;-)

Wow, that skytopia website has "funny" colors. I like it :)

The site seems to be slowing down, so I mirrored the pages: http://www.pelulamu.net/mandelbulb/
Nice, but we need a good HD quality animation of these things. Preferably IQ's version :D

viznut, ahh!! :) So now we can rename the term 'coder colors' to 'scientist colors'. Sound much less derogatory to coders. Höhö.

And Gargaj, yep, greyscale + 1 directional light... now THAT'S DESIGN! Haha.

Awesome stuff. I want to see it moving.

In 20 years we can probably render these realtime, bruteforce :)

Reminds me of a chunk of coral.
kurli, it isn't 1989 anymore you know :)

unclex, that meme is getting almost as annoying as ending sentences with "period".

i think the 3D julias done by Keops some years ago looked less scary. those mandelbrots really freak me out, HR Giger style!
