Artist's Comments

i'm a bit reluctant to submit "remix" images of existing works, but here goes anyway.

this is rendered with my 4-day-old new renderer; it's a spectral (wavelength-based) renderer that can cleanly handle lots of interesting physics, in this case the light source is a black body emitter (wiki: [link]) at about 9500K. i look forward to doing much more with this renderer and letting others use it in the future (read: after my #$&*@% exams).

I think this is phenomenal. The realism is stunning. :+fav:

thanks :) the nice thing about simulating physics is you get to create little worlds and they look so real...

I would like to do this at a higher quality...

and I think I have the farm to do it...

i've actually sent the exe to a friend on da (~vodu2040) with a 64bit quadcore machine, which will render it at 3840x2400 just earlier. i would really like to render a print-resolution version, but that will take much memory, probably requiring 64bit. i have 4gb of ddr2 memory already actually, but i can't use it until i upgrade my motherboard+cpu to quadcore whenever the new intel or amd ones come out (using 2gb atmo).

oh my... that looks so real, I want to reach out and touch it :love: much, much better than certain other recent 3D fractal renders :giggle: I simply can't stop staring at this though.. I've scrolled up to look at it 4 times now, while trying to write this comment :D

thanks :giggle:

the realism will get kicked up a notch before year's end: real skylight, integration with normal 3d geometry and lights, real materials (glass, metal, clay, ...) etc. too bad i have exams right now :noes:

i have a much improved version that needs serious firepower... what kind of farm are we talking? :D

Hui, sehr schön! Disregarding the great job on the dof, the clockworkish apparatus is still simply breathtaking. More remixes! (:+fav:)
