When the City of Vienna approached Strukt with the task to present three individual partners at the Mediafair Vienna (Medienmesse Wien) with an interactive surface, the Struktable was the perfect solution for the task. Planning and programming a tree-based media application that is scaleable in its size and content provided an attractive and interactive experience for the visitors. Each tree held information about the individual partners. Open content and navigation items were making space for newly opened content, so as requested by the client no information got covered. This, and the reduction of interaction gestures to simplify the use, made it possible for multiple users to gather information from texts, images and up to 5 videos at the same time.

This is my second rendering of the so called Mandelbub fractal object. It was oversampled, but I wanted to ensure the quality was there, so antialiasing and motion blur were pushed more than needed. However there are some artifacts there due to some math inaccuracies.

The rendering was done in regular C, in the CPU. It's multithreaded but not SIMD-ed. Render times were around few seconds per image (sub-frame). The surface detail is adjusted dynamically for every ray to ensure low computation cost and less aliasing.

Subdivision of a cube using Catmull Clark and Doo Sabin processes with non-uniform non-stationary weights. Generated in processing, rendered using Indigo. For further images and explanation see michael-hansmeyer.com
