One quadrillion iterations (1000000000000000) Mandelbrot zoom

Watch at the highest resolution you can! The Mandelbrot iterations is used as the z-coordinate in this movie. Zoom level: 10^-466 Number of iterations: 1 quadrillion (10^15) For the generation of this movie I have improved the triangle drawing algorithm and optimized the randomness in the vertex coordinates to reduce Moiré-patterns. The contribution to each pixel for each triangle is computed as proportional to the area of the polygon formed by each pixel / triangle overlap. This reduces flickering substantially. In this video there are still some visible artifacts, mostly due to artifacts in numerical gradient calculations, where new triangles are introduced in the image. Anyway I hope you enjoy this movie! 0:00 Start of zoom 0:23 First minibrot 7:07 Intense section: 2:nd to 5:th minibrots, 129 M - 12 G iterations 12:24 Intense section: 287 M - 840 M iterations 15:01 Intense section: 677 M - 1.13 G iterations 16:15 Intense section: 857 M - 1.39 G iterations 17:23 Final zoom: 6:th to 9:th minibrots, 2.16 G - 1 P iterations Music from www.epidemicsound.com: Hours / Max Anson Overboard / FLYIN Follow the Spotlights / Andreas Boldt Have to Dance / Cushy The Shroud of My Lies (Instrumental Version) / ELFL Underground Moments / Cushy Ancient Spells / Ruiqi Zhao
