Description
Made in Mandelbulb 3D and Photoshop.Fun fact: The ambient shadows alone for this one took roughly 13 hours to finish calculating. I'd say it was worth it!

Great piece. 13 hours?!? The pieces that I've done so far ambient has taken less that 10 min. Thank You

Keep in mind that the 2550x3450 resolution downloadable images are actually scaled down from larger images for the sake of cheap antialiasing. So you're looking at running 33 count raytracing shadows on an image that's over 6000x8000 pixels originally. Plus this is a surf box, which requires that the accuracy calculations have to be much more precise than any of the other formulas I use in order to avoid large amounts of static and other rendering errors so every step takes about ten times as long to begin with.
Good thing I'm patient.

extremely fine work - this should be shown as a DD - but - no matter what i suggested so far, they wouldn't follow my suggestions, haha...

Only ever got one Daily Deviation anyway, I'm not expecting another one any time soon.
