Test of MC DOF in Mandelbulber @xlace

Uploaded December 2018 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

Animation rendered using Mandelbulber 2.15
This my first trial with rendering animation with Monte Carlo depth of field effect and Monte Carlo soft shadows.
Rendering of it took about 30 hours on GTX 1060.
Noise target was set to 2%, which result in not so visible noise and reasonable time of rendering.

$Mandelbulber v2 OpenCL fast engine 4K test This the trial of rendering flight animation using Mandelbulber v2 with partially implemented OpenCL rendering engine. There reason of this test was to check stability of application during long rendering and how rendering behaves when camera is very close to the surface. Because OpenCL kernel code runs using only single precision floating point numbers, its not possible to do deep zooms of 3D fractals. To render this animation in 4K resolutiuon it took only 9 hours on nVidia GTX 1050. https://www.patreon.com/krzysztofmarczak$ $Mandelbrot 3D fractal - rotated view$
