While creating this tool I decided I needed a really, really deep zoom animation to show how easy creating these can be. So here is one nearly twice as long as my first.
The final frame of this movie needs 35 decimals, and has a minimum iteration count of more than 1.6 million (the maximum calculated was just under ten million). It took a network of eight medium-powered PCs more than a month to complete. On the same scale as “1/50th of a Light Year,” when the last frame of this movie is displayed, the original frame has been inflated to more than five trillion light-years across.
Because of the depth, the frames for this zoom movie are rendered at a lower resolution than the other examples. This took nearly a year to render.
