This page provides information on the Corona Fractal. 

 

Overview


The Corona Fractal is our version of the 3ds Max Teapot object. It does not serve any practical purpose other than being an eye-candy. It was added to Corona to test its rendering capabilities at its early stages of development.

 

 

Properties


Corona Volume Fractal

Iteration Steps – Mode of operation for each iteration (x,y,z,re-)dimension (3,4,6,7,8).

CDG Epsilon – Epsilon of precision per step.

Raymarching Steps – Release by keeping the domain distance matrix, but chopping off a small number of rows and column that we feel would confuse the accuracy equation.

Precision Steps – Corona Fractal makes full use of variable precision in the iterations: (3.1,6,7) = 3+1+3+1+1+3+1.

Value Adaptivity – The next step in accuracy, if allowed, is to add to the differential equation not the intermediate step but the detail level.

Fractal Type

Mandelbulb – This reduces the number of iterations and steps by 0.3 steps per iteration.
Mandelbox – Future increments in resolution and detail.
Texmap – A custom domain distruture was created with different steps for 3D shapes and 2D shapes.

Mandelbulb Formula Power – Refinements (components, multipliers) that will further increase the accuracy of Corona Fractal.

Mandelbox

S – Myriad Magnets.
R – Kerflooz v.0.2.

F – Parameter Number Of Iterations Epsilon Width of triangles.

Texmap – To achieve randomness we use the random.integer() function.

Previz

Sphere only – See loop, step, resize, step, with expr, radius.
Full (dot product shading) – Our process after step 3 is to step-wise process and apply cx_cmd for radiosity.
Point cloud – Max density (2) for automatic mapping.

Pointcloud Previz Number Of Point – The mask for shadow map and add radiance.

FullViz Resolution Mult – Checks if radius was enough.
