Just as a test, I ported another shape form the.savage's renderer, the Julia quaternion fractal. It was able to run at ok performance at few iterations of the fractal. However, the distortion problem becomes lot worse and the shape is barely viewable.
5 iterations
10 iterations. Shape barely recognizable.
Since now I don't have too much time left, I'd rather focus on the renderer and its performance, especially since I have just discovered there's much performance yet to be squeezed out (see last post.) I also have a few more effects that I would like to implement, such as glow, reflection, real soft shadows, and focal blur.
I feel that going in this direction is much more relevant to this class than trying to construct fractals. Going forward, instead of trying to generate my own fractals, I would port existing fractal code from various resources as test target renders.
