My second render using MandelBulb 3D. This one combines the famous “Menger Sponge” with the “Ruckerbulb” and “Amazing Surf” fractals.

This one is still sort of “in-progress” but I thought it the first draft looked good enough to share in the gallery. I rendered the single-screen version on Bucephalus while Shadowfax is rendering the triple-5K. Hope to have that version finished soon!

“Serpentine” is my first hi-res render using Mandelbulb 3D (not to be confused with Mandelbulber which I have used a few times before).

In some areas it seems more powerful than the other app, but in others it isn’t. It’s a 32-bit program, for example, so I can only use 2 GB of my 128 installed GB to process images. This means some of the post-processing options (like DOF) run out of memory on large images.

I still think it’s worth learning though. Let me know what you think of the first effort!

PS: You can now use the R/L arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through my gallery 🙂

I started creating a “ground view” of my “Accretion” render but decided instead to use the scene I created for my revision of “Moonshadow” (that render will remain in the Pickle Jar here). The wider frame better suits the multiscreen “Accretion” and the resulting image is a little brighter and less gloomy.

The multiscreen finished rendering first in this case and then I had to wait until the single-screen was finished before I could post it here. Sorry for the wait!!

Here’s the single screen for comparison…

I had such a great time discussing my new Shadowfax workstation with the redditors at /r/battlestations and /r/pcmasterrace that I was inspired to render a new multiscreen version of my “Fluorescence/Reddit” hybrid. I rendered this one on my Asfaloth mobile workstation.

Just for fun I added a few more aliens in the background 😉

Here’s a free triple 1080p version if anyone is interested. Members can download resolutions up to triple-5K here.
