testing new 3D fractals in Houdini and Arnold renderer

try simulate light refraction inside Arnold. Arnold has only Spectral refraction. the result is not physically accurate like you have in Indigorender.
but it look cool and its renders so much faster !

I though I try an experiment and taking my crystal into Indigo renderer.  its work in progress . the crystal is "crystal" clear, but for "real world" crystal I need random scattering at bottom. I will look into Indigo's shader language.

back to BiDirectional MTL rendering:

i've rendered my hypercube in 8kx8k for a nice large print. its took a lots hours but its worth it.  rendered in Ingiorenderer

you can grap your print from artstation if you like !

finally, I got some time to play with octane in Houdini. I am impressed with the interactivity of the renderer. The render time was about 2:30 Minutes on RTX5000 for the image (in 5k resolution).
