Thanks - its been quite an adventure through various lua guides and pixel blender sources. The raytracer part is based on Tom Beddards implementation for pixel blender (http://www.subblue.com/), the fractal variations are from various sources and experimentation.
I'm not ready to publish the filter yet - its too messy at the moment, and I'm hoping to figure out some optimizations that make it a bit more ..mm.. realistic for normal usage, hehe. Njyldgarkn sample cache! |

Shpinx! You're getting it!  You realize, you're working on the best filter ever made with filter forge. |

Hey Everyone,
Awesome work Sphinx.! What 3D program did you use, 3D Max?
Filter Forge? 
Have a GREAT day!

Yes, it is 100% filter forge (or rather 100% script component, I'm not using the FF shader). The script is build up of three parts, a small vector "class" I made for lua, a raytracer with extended phong shader and the actual mandelbulb distance estimation routines Njyldgarkn sample cache! |

Hey Sphinx.
That is almost hard to believe! I didn't think Filter Forge was capable of such great 3D work! I realllly.... feel old now...LOL. 
Great job! Have a wonderful day!

Hmm, I guess lol.. it is not easy to "navigate" around when you have to wait minutes for even lofi renderings to complete. I guess I need to get a light in there and have a look 
Meanwhile here is another rendering - the shadow caster now works better with the phong shader (I forgot to reset the ray variable)  Njyldgarkn sample cache! |

Ron has it right.....this work is by far the best I've ever seen from this program, IMO.....  Steve

WOWWWW !!! Many thanks to make me discover this software.
I do like this. Fractal, kaleidoscope, and 3D, it's great. I'm downloading the package to work in Photoshop. Thanks again ! Best Regards. ++
PS : I works with Apophysis3Dhack too, it's a great software. |

 Holy @^*% Sphinx!
That's awesome. You're writing your own renderer for it? |

The script is the whole thing - raymarching, distance estimations, shadowcaster, phong shader. I'm trying to find a good way to seperate some of the things into several script components though, but I just have too many result vars to fit into the FF argb result mode. I'm considering using some sort of multipass approach, where you request a specific var from a source prop (using curvescripts t variable as index) Njyldgarkn sample cache! |

Maybe it could be distributed across several filters. FF could introduce a separate fractal library where filter seeds (intermediate math) could be used between and across filters using the selection as input. | |||||

Very cool! It looks like some sort of IFS Barnslay fractal, only its in 3D I should get on with the renderer again.. writing my final paper for the university atm, so no time Njyldgarkn sample cache! |

Sphinx, befor the statute of limitations applies, please release the filter!
I don't mind if it's slow, Release it as is, and you can always update later |

Super Awesome! I have played with Mandelbulber a little bit and so would love to use your filter in Filter Forge! If you need/want someone to give it some test runs I would be happy to help out! :o) The Joy is in The Work |
