I was at Sehnsüchte 2022 and saw your project. It was the best I've seen in VR and 360° in 10 years. When I was there I watched the video 5 times. I give you a standing ovation. My respect.

So good and complex that I got depressed! :) Amazing work! Thanks for sharing

Amazing experience. Great Presentation.
Very detailed, visually stunning.
loved every single asset and final visuals are dynamic and moving. Wish i could watch this somewhere in actual 360.
Planing such detailed production in 360, like you mentioned - Quite Ambitious.
Congratulations.
Love it.

I recognise the splitting cell simulation shot in this. I think Adrian made a tutorial for that a few years ago which was amazing in itself but this is something else.

Seriously amazing, i wish there was a public tool to integrate fractals better in houdini

Wow really impressive, I got into to learning Houdini through Mandelbulb3D after being inspired by Julius Horsthuis VR films. So I'm more than excited & blown away by this.

[qwertyuiop]

Cries in CPU cycles.

The mutagen thing would be a tool people would definitely buy.

[magneticanimalism]

This should come with an epileptic warning for sure.
