“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!

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.

Happy to scratch another neglected multiscreen render off of my list today. “Moondance” is finally available for dual and triple-monitors. It took just over a week to render on Bucephalus during which time I was able to develop new projects on Shadowfax 🙂

Which neglected multiscreen should Bucephalus attack next from his new home in my basement?

I’ve added “Accretion (2015)” to the Members Gallery this morning. As with “Platonics“, this scene was composed in Lightwave starting with a 48:9 frame (as opposed to the 16:10 frame I’ve used for the past 10 years). The single-screen was cropped from the triple-5k render. Here’s what it looks like on Shadowfax…

I’ve tried to keep the center screen interesting here but I can’t say if I would have designed it this way if I had started with a 16:9 frame. Let me know what you think!
