Description
Another test render with a new variation pack. Still has a lot of work to go though.Related content

Beautiful result! If it's slow it's worth the wait

Superfantastic creation!
Btw, here you find a book of math functions in C - seems to be good and uses approximations

It's a good thing math hasn't changed since the 80's

This makes my nerdy heart go pitter-patter. It is interesting how it looks like a printed circuit board.
Are the renders still extremely slow?

Yes, it is slow. The code has an inverse hyperbolic cosine function which is slowing things way down. I'm not sure that there is much way around it.

Could you figure out what the Taylor series expansion (about zero) is, maybe the 3rd or 4th order and use that as an approximation?
It is good enough for engineering grad school : D

The approximation wasn't close enough. It wasn't much faster anyway though because it still had a log function. I did some other optimizations though and i'm 37% faster

Interesting. I'm glad to hear you are making progress
