Description
Mandelbulb3d/PS7
This one bout killed me, spent hours at 800x400 getting lights set, then setting reflections to make sure they would work, all seemed OK. Rendered at 2600x1300 Hi Res, changed render settings lower for reflects to render faster started Reflects going. 17 hours,No way not even gonna do it, Dinked around with Render and Reflects settings for hours and nothing would speed it up, so I just fogged it up and increased light intensities and did it like this. If anyone tries these params and gets speedy reflects I would sure appreciate knowing what your settings were, I'm going to bed I'm Beat.
Thanks for the l@@k
These params are the original from where I had reflects rendering fine at medium Res before changing lighting and fog.

I often ask myself that same question. Nicely done.
Ah!!Lots of time and lots of head pressures.Painful indeed. I'm sure the challenges will arouse your interest again later. This image is fantastic. Outstanding depth,colors,lighting and details.The shadows are awesome. Your hard work,patience and tolerance shows in all of your renders. Great job Len.
Great render!!!
nice depth, killer work man
Superb creation Len
Beautiful Len
I tried downloading it exactly the way the parameters are set Len. It is rendering now. the reflects say they will be just under 2 hours. I'll let it render while i head back to work and wehn I get home will email the finished result to youuntouched so you can put your own name on it. I didnt adjust anything at all from the parameter posted so it is still your image.
fantastic view, great fractal work, atmo and structure
superb image Len i would not have the patience to wait all those hours
The reflections are spectacular, this is amazing work Lenord... Bravo!! Breathtaking. seth
That is a lot of work Len, but the results are well worth it.Superior creation my friend!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!
I want ot try it asaIht
its a long way..cool
SUPER METALIC OBJECTS !!!!!FINE TEXTURES ,COLORS AND TEXTURES!!!!!!!
As always superb fractal artwork Len, just love it.
I do my longer (4/ 5 hours) render time usually at night, so this morning I see some stupid program decided to restart my computer to boot!! Half way!! Archchchchchch!! I’ve done your image hopefully in the same settings in about one hour now, with reflections. Send you the script, I’ve also a screendump with the settings. Need a mailadres to send it. RS
unique work even after all the waiting! exc3ellent creation lenord!:)*5
cool! love the depth in this len.
Looks cool as is, Len
A superb fractal but ghastly render times. This has a super perspective to it.
I feel ya. A lot of head banging goes into this stuff. The one you posted is pretty awesome. It's very convincing in it's realism...the lighting and shadows are perfect.
Excellent work!!!
Awesome image, Len. Gorgeous soft lighting. Corrie
Yes indeed, particularly since in the "real universe" reflects happen at the speed of light. I think we are missing something fundamental, but it is beyond me. Take heart, though, one day we will all have Holo-Decks to play around in. Notwithstanding your chagrin, however, this is still, in my opinion, an outstanding piece.
Really impressive!
Fantastic fractal.
Fantastic creation,love the symmetry,excellent*******
Fantastic and very creative fractal my friend, splendid shapes....!!!
Awesome image! I'll give the parameters a try, but I can't say if I'll be able to render faster. We will see.
