If there's purple hues it's likely smokey amethyst.

Calibas

Looks like smokey quartz amethyst.

Edit: Looking closer, I can see purple in the video.

Another victim of Reddit's video compression.

It's real 3D. I'm stitching together 2D tiles, then applying a heightmap for depth. Instead of shading tricks for the shadows, it's actual path tracing.

I can get Cantor dust for cheaper at my local fractal store.

If I remember correctly, the way to disable a unit is to remove it from the factory's build list.

The US has history of "helping" to educate Afghan children: https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/12/06/368452888/q-a-j-is-for-jihad

You can go around the GPU limits with things like perturbation theory and floatexp. I've been able to zoom past 10^3000 and render using the GPU, though I use the CPU to calculate the reference orbit first.

The 60fps one looks smooth.

I think the issue I was seeing is that's it's trying to play a 24 fps video at 30 fps.

Calibas

Which coloring algorithm is that? Looks awesome and I want to add it to my renderer.

I could be mistaken, but the animation doesn't seem completely smooth. I loaded it up in VLC, and it's telling me that every 5 frames, the animation pauses for a single frame.

Calibas

Looks like Reddit butchered the video quality.

Calibas

Looking at the surface in the first picture, I think that's a fossil. It might have agatized pockets inside.

I'm reporting this to the subreddit mods!

Calibas

Thanks! I've been reading the Softology blog, I think that should be everything I need.

I should have time to implement this when I'm done with Mandelbrot deep zooms.

Calibas

What do you mean? That looks like a real escape-time fractal, though I'm not sure which equation they're using. It's not something common like a Mandelbrot or Julia.

Calibas

What do you use to create these? I want to see how they're made so I can add them to my program as well.
