Best fractals on the Internet. I love how you don’t overwhelm the viewer with intense music and visuals like other channels. I have epilepsy so I can’t watch those but your videos are perfect. I’ve watched them more than any other channel on RUclips by far. I just leave your videos on on my TV in the background during the day with my own music playing. Thank you so much!
There is an unseen/heard dissonance in the mix of Max Cooper and the stark steel and glass architecture of the fractal, making the piece a little more unsettling to me than it should be, but also making it interesting and culminates nicely with the starkness of the closure....as always nice job Julius
Temporal-reprojection works surprisingly well on volumetric-light with volumetric-refraction (which is also sub-surface). TR may drastically increase performance, while the scene does not change too fast. [shadertoy Bidirectional Tracer Reproj] [shadertoy Reproject Volumetric quaternion] (may want to check linked shaders for variants) The above 2 only reproject (in case of camera movement) onto a flat-view-frame, and not onto a spheremap/cubemap, which would allow for better rotations.
@@julius-horsthuis i am not sure what you can do in mandelbulb3d, hoping it would allow back-buffering. but its zbuffer is only 8bit, so there go my hopes for quality. it possibly does not even have temporal-AntiAliasing.
@@julius-horsthuis well you are doing at least bidirectional shading here, if not even subsurface refraction for glass, which seems more novel for fractal renders, was hoping its more flexible shaders and not just a simple tool.
@@ollllj If you want fancy features and shaders you should look into Mandelbulber. And (as long as this still applies) if you want the most interesting shapes you can find in the mathematical universe, you gotta stick to Mandelbulb3D ;) (I apply all those things like temporal anti-aliasing as post effects to smoothen out the renders)
If one renders every pixel combination possible of a Full HD frame at 60 combinations per second, it would take more than 18000 years to have all the frames to make this movie and an incalculable amount of time to select them all to come to the same result. The artistry in generative Art is the intuition to navigate the near infinite amount of possibilities and keep the worthwhile. You sir, are an Artist. Thank you for showing us this beautiful masterpiece.
I agree with the last part, but it is much worse than that ("much" is still an euphemism). With 24 bits per pixel and 1920x1080 pixels, this results in (2^24)^(1920*1080) different frames, ~1e15000000. In comparison, those 18000 years tackle ~1e13 of those frames.
@@ImagicTheCat ouch indeed I was _slightly_ off with my calculation. it is to the power to calculate combinations not multiply. Thanks for taking the time to correct me. Just to be sure, is that a 1 with 15 million zeros ??? ... I'll take a dollar for every zero in that number. 😄
Can you please release a long compilation as a normal video without long pauses on the intro and outro? That would be amazing for the maximum fractal trip :) Really appreciate your work
The blur in the beginning and the end is a little offputting, and the noises embedded in the music are somewhat disturbing (they are high-pitched and cause a loud resonance in speakers material). Other than that, it's beautiful, as always. Also, I wonder if you could upload a stereo render of your works on RUclips. I've just recently got my hands on VR "glasses" for smartphone (a plastic box with, sadly, non-aspheric lenses), through which I can appreciate it in side-by-side mode -- and it is really something. Yes, RUclips doesn't show anything but Anaglyph version of "3D videos", as it calls it, but through external sites you can download the video and then play it properly through something like Stereoscopic Player, TriDef stereo player or something like that, and stream the desktop to smartphone with something like Moonlight (through NVidia Shield embedded in the horrible GeForce Experience) or something more general, like Splashtop. That way, you can still see such videos in Side-By-Side mode, where you can specify your own receiving configuration (eye distance, etc). Point is, what's more deserving of being filmed in Stereo if not the structures you're filming in your works?
Would there be a future video of an infinite maze of Black Tourmaline within a desert wasteland of white rippled sand and glowing shards of Rose Quartz Crystal?. I've had repetitive dreams of this for some strange reason.
Hello Julius! I adore your work and am just getting into creating 3d fractals, and would love to become a better artist with it! I'd love to know how long it typically takes your computer to render the frames for a complete video such as this! I'm making my first animation and it seems that it will take about two days for it to render!
I remember a few details I learned about his technique. Perhaps it was on his website. But his videos are deliberately slow paced because he uses some kind of interpolation software to create frames to fill in using keyframes 5 frames apart. So it takes 1/5th as long as it otherwise would. Occasionally you can see artifacts on the edge of the screen as objects move in and out of view because of this, but most of the time it's barely noticeable. Edit: Also I've messed around with mandelbulb3d a lot, and some fractals take 10 or more times as long to render as others even if they don't look more complicated. I guess rendering time depends a lot on how complicated the formulas are.
@@ericmollison2760 thank you I really appreciate this response, I got a bit discouraged because it is hard to find answers on this specific / unique topic.

Wonderful sci-fi, alien civ vibes in this, amazing
Amazing style and restraint
The work of a master
Great detail and lighting. Fantastic and surreal!
Great work of art! Fractals, music and editing all very well executed. Thank you for this piece of work!
Haa, you’re back. Great.
Another beauty.
Thank you Julius! Beautyful and more sophisticated details and realities!
Another masterpiece!
Just awesome...
Once again, thank you for a new video. It's great!

That's a fair point Louis. Maybe I was too in love with the music that I failed to notice that. Thanks anyway!!
The legend returns. Your channel is like, omega underrated.
That's clearly how the Reality works at other orders of magnitude. Thank you Julius Horsthuis for another piece of art.
Wonderfull work, as always ! That "cathedral" at the end was amazing !
Finally you uploaded again, i missed your Uploads.
Best Mandelbulb user of all time
Just another never-imagined-before type of visual. So awesome dude!!!
Intense emotion
Pretty 😍
LIKE !🙂👍

You set the standard others have to try to reach for.
The way you do the lighting really adds to the effect.

I didn’t understand a word you said but it makes me want to do this haha
Not sure how any of this applies since this is all Mandelbulb3D, not shadertoy.

@@ginglyst Yes, it is 15 million zeros. That number is really hard to grasp.
Your work is the best I've seen awesome job..
Super-intelligent!!!
If Stanley Kubrick is alive and is currently planning a self-remake of "2001: A Space Odyssey", he will ask you to create the final stargate scene.
Great as always!
Guessing this is Mandelbox-based going by some familiar structures. Excellent work as always.
Happy New Year! happy to see you "back" - another masterpiece!
gorgeous 🤤
LOVE IT BROTHER!
watching this on max res, nvidia titan black, on an Acer QG241Y
✨🔥
Inspiring work sir. Shared this on Twitter but I don't know if you're on Twitter so I wasn't able to tag you. Absolutely mesmerizing work.

hi Julius, amazing work! Can I use this for non commercial purpose?
So amazing work! Whats programs u use for creating this masterpiece?
Would there be a future video of an infinite maze of Black Tourmaline within a desert wasteland of white rippled sand and glowing shards of Rose Quartz Crystal?. I've had repetitive dreams of this for some strange reason.
I love it! Sounds doable :)
@@julius-horsthuis Is it also possible to have thick fog and falling ashes to go along with it?
Full on frisson

Are you the only one that does that? I don't see that in other channels. It is incredible
