8. Mandelbrot Fractal Set Trip To e214 HD
3 years ago
download the original @ hd-fractals.com/downloads/
see the latest deep zoom by teamfresh here youtube.com/watch?v=foxD6ZQlnlU
Here is a nice deep zoom into the Mandelbrot set. The words "nice" and "deep" fall a bit short actually.
"Mathematical Porn" is a better description.
After watching this video things in my room started to bend and breathe!! I hope you enjoy the trip!!
The final magnification is e.214. Want some perspective? a magnification of e.12 would increase the size of a particle to the same as the earths orbit! e.21 would make a particle look the same size as the milky way and e.42 would be equal to the universe. This zoom smashes all of them all away. If you were "actually" traveling into the fractal your speed would be faster than the speed of light.
You might like to know that this animation took me about two days to set up. My computer then rendered day and night non-stop for just over a month to produce the animation. The resulting twenty-eight anti-aliased 1280x720 AVI files (each just under 2GB) were each watermarked at full frames (uncompressed) Then I stitched them all together uncompressed. I also added the audio track at the same time. This was all done in Virtual dub. (except watermarking) The final watermarked Avi with audio is a whopping 46GB - Then I compressed it to 495mb so I could upload it onto vimeo. I think it still looks fairly crisp
With the compression settings adjusted to achieve the highest quality, the resulting file size was about 1.5GB and looks absolutely sweet!
(Once vimeo plus is here I may well upload it!)
**edit**
highest quality version is still too big for vimeo even after vimeo plus has arrived but it is available for download from hd-fractals.com/downloads/

I had downloaded the Divx version, it was worth it!
I'm producing a Blu-Ray of 1080P fractals... I'd love to see this at 1920x1080p! I've found with my own work that the web is a poor place to see the amazing details these fractals "bring out".
my brain is hurting.
I would love to make one of those,..... but sadly, I don't have a computer that can run for weeks on end.
So Fractal xTreme will do just fine. I may render an HD fractal zoom to e-186. The final frame for it took about 20 minutes, so I might get the time to render it.
It would have taken only about 3 days - if I did not anti-alias!
the final frame was rendered without anti-aliasing.
Maybe.
Someday.....
EDIT: I am currently rendering the last frame at 800 by 600.I will post it when it's done
I will most likely not render this video until I buy that fast computer.Which won't be for who knows how long.
redo, and redo it right.
for your information the original video file is 120 fps so stick that in your pipe and try to remember that no one has control over the way vimeo chooses frame rates for their videos - apart from the vimeo staff - you knob jockey.
Thanks for the video.
PS: awesome sound track too! Who was the artist and where can I get more?
hd-fractals.com
I would appreciate it if it was not made into a torrent though!
I confess the soundtrack is from a mix that a dj friend of mine knocked up a long while ago, I dont know the track listing sorry!
an extremely high quality 1.4GB version can be downloaded from my blog
hd-fractals.com
I would appreciate it if it was not made into a torrent though!
On the mac pro (dual quad core 2.8 ghz each core) an animation for posting on the web, similar to the above, lasting for the same time, can be rendered in a less than a day
I must be missing something here big time. LOL
their programs are amazing and really really easy to use

works on all platforms :P
Two requests, one question:
1) Can we have a zoom out, please? I much prefer it, it somehow conveys a sense of infinity much better than a zoom in.
2) Could you also do one where you pan around much more, holding on the zoom every so often - as though piloting it towards interesting structures as you see them?
3) Why bother with the anti-aliasing? (forgive if noobie question!)
Great stuff, anyway - and very cool soundtracks too. Nice one!
1) yes it can (and will) be done at some point soon
2) see above
3) anti aliasing may seem like a waste of time when you are at low levels of detail but when you reach areas of high detail it just looks awful if you do not anti alias the image. There are plenty of low quality fractal anims out there and I have no intention of adding to the list!
When fractal images are aliased – they look scratchy and you can see a lot of noise over the image. Aliasing comes about because the edge of the fractal is infinite, but the screen has a finite amount of pixels with which to represent it.
When the fractal is calculated, each pixel has to be either inside the fractal set, or outside the fractal set. Even though some of the pixels contain both the inside, and the outside of the fractal. This is what causes aliasing.
When the fractal image is anti-aliased, each pixel that contains both the inside and the outside of the fractal – is shaded between the two colours – according to how much of the inside and outside it contains. This removes aliasing. Although it is impossible to remove aliasing all together, anti-aliasing a fractal image greatly improves its quality.
I have uploaded an example to the group to show the difference here...

Can't wait for the pan around/zoom out versions. I think you could get away with slower movement too? I kept finding myself trying to pay attention to various cool-looking areas but they were gone almost as soon as they appeared. Reminded me of watching the Star Wars space battle scenes...
(Plus, if Vimeo chops it from 120fps to 24fps, it would still look smooth as a freshly buttered bannister.)
Keep up the good work, dude. Viva Benoit!
My next animation will get slower towards the end....
trip to e64

and
trip to e49

And if you want try and break your eyes watch
trip to e75

Only one thing could make it better: Loopable. I mean, the first and last video frames have equal images and "speed". It could be left playing on an infinite loop, making a completely hypnotic wallpaper.
feels like the star gate scene from 2001.
And man, would I love to know the tracks from the DJ set. Grand stuff!
Couldn't resist :O)

anyone else who wants to see "rainbow island twists" can find it here
youtube.com/watch?v=G-LHSkQCo3E
the its' of the final frame of the up coming anim is in the millions...
*EDIT* the last frame took 20 million iterations in the end. it can be seen here..
youtube.com/watch?v=foxD6ZQlnlU
I also zoomed to the same place in the mandelbrot fractal as in rainbow island twists and found it took 1 million iterations for the final frame. 2 million for an ultra crisp mandelbrot at the end....

might take the fun out if it was
