+=== Rendering notes ===
+
+It took about 2 weeks of computation on a dual-core machine to render the 2048 high resolution frames contained in 82 seconds of video.
+My previous renderings at lower resolution and lower iteration count were much faster.
+
+A The high iteration count actually makes the fractal surface a little too polverized to appreciate. Adding transparency
+and gradients is another bad idea as it complicates things even more. If I find the time and motivation to re-render the
+animation, I'll look for better balance.
+
+In case someone wants to experiment, these are the [[pictures/julia4D/julia4D.pov | scene source]]
+and [[pictures/julia4D/julia4D.ini | ini file]] I used.

 === Video encoding notes ===
 
 The files were encoded from a sequence of PNG frames generated by POV-Ray,
