Best Fractal Zoom Ever

[uremove]

LOL! It makes for a good effect... Whether intended or as an artefact. Feels like a limit is being reached.

[uremove]

Nice! "Journey to the centre of the Mandelbrot". I like the camera shake before the crash! No music though?

[AmarrStriker]

@uremove The camera shake isn't volontary , it's caused by the fact that, at this zoom level , we're approaching what a cpu can do with 128 bits floating points numbers

[loveblackkeys]

Let's say this is our universe. Where would the known earth, dimensions, milky way, etc. be on the scale? Would it be scarier if we were at the beginning, with unknown quanta becoming smaller, or if we were at the end, with unknown mega large forms not discovered - closer to everything "disappearing"? o.O

[joebob3719]

@loveblackkeys What if we're in the middle? In between the infinitely huge and the infinitely small? Call me crazy, but what if there was now beginning or end? What if it was infinite, or a loop?

[TheSovietOnion]

why is the fractal developing as we zoom into it?

[lughosify]

@TheSovietOnion its meant to

[loveblackkeys]

@TheSovietOnion Because you cannot see the details from afar, and also complex computer generated images would slow down a video so they had to simplify it a little.

[Catau93rl]

whats a fractal?

[lughosify]

@Catau93rl its a computer generated picture in a way

[rphcomposer]

THAT GOES ON MORE THAN MY WIFE

[TheBradTobin]

This is scary even if your not on shrooms.

[Filmer1eX]

Does this mean if we travel too far into the space everything will just dissappear? o.O

[Nagby3]

backward it

[andreirocks1992]

sad floating point precision :(

[flyawayhome3]

wow that was fucking scary!

[DRelSniper]

Now i realise that I dream about fractals...

But after some time into it, i usually wake up dizzy and scared, like it was a nightmare: I fell through the infinite and bent my own mind in the process!(Probably because it exceeded my brain's processing capacity)

Straaaange stuff...

[yulyus70]

very poor quality video! the author could make 1080 p and 5 min of video

[ChemicalComedown]

Absolutely amazing work !!! : )

Added to favs for sure . . .

[MrArmlicker1]

We need to go deeper....

[vlogsmack]

We live in the Matrix, I'm Neo.

[lethalsub]

Is there a mathematical reason for the landscape effect?

[USMHK]

@lethalsub yes. and for everything else also. even your heartbeat.

[opliik]

@lethalsub

The sublevels are generated on the go, there is really no reason to generate the whole extemely highres fractal if you can't see the small details anyway, also it would require way to much memory.

[andreirocks1992]

@lethalsub everything looks like a landscape :D

[gogman25]

MY FUCKING MIND JUST EXPLODED.

[Lostinafreezer]

@gogman25 So did the computers.



[shadyman2000]

I think I just saw God.

[ralienpp]

Hmm... This thing looks like a landscape. Is it some sort of an optical trick? Or is it a special type of a fractal?

[merlynfry]

What was the program that made this

[Cardgames4children]

Fractals scare me

[fntime]

@Cardgames4children Undoubtably, you are a 21 yr old 'man' whose favorites

have nothing but cartoons. Get out of the cartoon universe and join reality,

the waters fine, just come on in!

[Cardgames4children]

@fntime No, I mean they scare me because when you look at them, it feels like you're in a trance and it just keeps on zooming and zooming infinitely...it's weird to me....although you are right about the cartoon thing. I'm 'different'

[Theshadeofgreyknight]

I find this hard to masturbate to.

But also incredibly awesome, as all fractals are

[xiec]

mmmmmm cake

[mebossyounothing]

shouldn't it be endless ?

so i sume it was prerendered ?

[H0B0MASTER]

can you imagine a mandlebrot set maze? that would be hard to get out of...

[jeremiah1499]

@H0B0MASTER thats hell right there

[TheAmericanFreeBird]

the universe is a fractal itself

anybody who disagreed to the title, or "disliked" this video, has never truely expanded their minds..

<3 my third eye

[luckeycat34]

@Jagethemage i have expanded my mind to the furthest limit comprehensible to humans. and this is not the best fractal zoom ever. ive seen better. look up "mandlebrot fractal zoom (hd)" to find the absolute best. gotta keep that 3rd eye moving ;) acid holds the key to living life truly happily. but dmt shows you how to get there!

[luckeycat34]

also ive seen better fractals than mandlebrot can produce with my 3rd eye jus sayin :)

[Jagethemage]

@luckeycat34 that's not fracticals.. there are no words in any language to fit what the 3rd eye gathers

[luckeycat34]

@Jagethemage so very true that there are no words to describe but i have seen the overlaying fractal patterns many a time :) these patterns put any drawn fractal to shame but still they are a fractal.

[SomewhatSocial]

all i saw were seahorses...

[Rakumario]

not the best at all.... ;P



[RomanianUser]

ive seen better

[Jagethemage]

@RomanianUser try acid, you'll understand

[DragonB42]

Really nice. I can only recommend ot.

[SteveArpo]

Terrific!

this is harldy as good as the title suggest infact the title should be "failed fractak zoom"

wish they taught about fractals in school. Might have taken more interest in maths.

[marsh84722]

hmm this is the best huh

[DollarTaco]

I liked the shaking at the end. It's like-

WE'RE GONNA CRASH!!

[Sakanakao]

Love the death by floating point precision at the end.

[JaccoffolotTheLonely]

Fractals changed my life they were the final reason for me to study math as my major:)

[jxhensley]

tripping balls

[Jmsn72]

@jxhensley  Hells yes! Especially when it started to shake.

[drummer1492]

What explains the shaking at the end of the video?

[summ22]

makes me feel sick

[DolleMatroos]

FRACTALS FUCKIN SUCK !!

[billybob1212]

@DolleMatroos ur taste in music sucks

[DolleMatroos]

@billybob1212

That still makes them fractals SUCK OFF BIG BULLBALLS !!!

[goodsirknight]

very salvia divinorumy

[thevuduchild]

anybody want to explain to me in 500 characters what are fractal zooms? i could google it but i'm here now so i'll ask the fractal fanatics

[narutofan9999]

@thevuduchild

I don't even need 500 characters... fractal zooms are zooms on a fractal. Now if you knew the definition of a fractal, that would be all you need to know.

[wubs23]

@thevuduchild a fractal is a shape that has not a whole number of dimension. a cube has per example 3 dimensions. a fractal can have 2.1 or 5.6 or 11.51 (you get the point by now) this makes them repeat themself endlessly if you zoom in. every part of the fractal also contains the whole fractal.

[2711lady]

guys what are this videos about ?

[wtficantgetausername]

damn thats pretty good! i was expecting a mandelbrot type of thing but this is surprising

[TheHomelessCripple]

Someone get me a dust pan so I can collect the fragments of my skull, because my mind was just blown

[Pandadruid]

trippy stuff, man!

[MightySunTzu]

reminds me of the time i combined muchrooms molly and acid. it nom nommed my mind.

[nyclear]

@fransvanzeln I he understood the magnitude of his own mathmatics (which he did) he would not be humiliated. He would revel in the endless variation of the unfolding life that is happening all around us. To have such strong opinions about anything is to colApse your own fractal consciousness into a more classical geometry of the man made realm

[ZeeN4v0]

and in the end is a ka-boom or what?

[monadamus9]

H-O-L-Y F-U-C-K-! We made it humanity! Now things dont just have to be super dope, they can be FRACTAL DOPE! I dont mind the speedmyself if you could make it much longer, MOOOOOOOOORRRREEE. . .. ... ..... ........ ............

[ephem9]

too fast! cool, but way too fast

[tss7s9]

Like omg what if... what if thats like, our universe man?

[fransvanzelm]

Dear Zettix1,

Please, very please change 'Best ... ever' in the title of your clip to 'Moderate ...' (or 'Rather lousy try on ...'). Your announcement is a humiliation to mr. Mandelbrot c.s.

Read other comments on your clip and think about the eternal, infinite truth of your pretensious announcement.

Very badly done using visualisation programs - couldnt see where it was going or had been.

Not the best video out there!

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

@tattieno1 You don't have the eye to see :3 mostly 3d artist can easily see what is going on.

[SYLERTUKO]

that was shit im sorry but that was the worst fractal zoom i ever seen

[Buttoxin]

my brain is full of fuck

[CHRISTMASBASTARD]

@Buttoxin lmfao

[sobeita]

Ideas for a future render:

* Use 'perspective fog' (semitransparency applied to more distant structures, allowing white or black to show through)

* Versions with wide-angle and narrow-angle lensing

* Arbitrary precision using an array to store decimals

(A note on that last one: rather than storing 4, 8, 12, or however many decimals in one variable, set each element of an array to equal one decimal place. C++ can handle enormous arrays, although realistically, this still won't be arbitrary.)

[MysteryProjectThe]

can someone call 911 and tell me what this is, the hack, after waking up from a deep coma?

[ZeroByte]

Heh - the last hole should've revealed the Goatse picture.

old guy died, care ?

[Lagolop]

@oBLACKIECHANoo

WHAT?! You again? This idiot is going from one vid to another making comment such as this about Dr. Mandelbrot. You have something against mathematicians??

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

@Lagolop and you are? oh thats right a canadian, you fail there and therefore i just wont reply to you. fucking scumbag.

[Lagolop]

@oBLACKIECHANoo

Thank God!

[romanmir01]

RIP to Benoit B. Mandelbrot 20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010

And thanks for all the tripping fractals

[zettix1]

@romanmir01 thanks for spreading the word. The world is a smaller place without him. =(

[mrcarbine541]

@zettix1 please tell me what proframme u used to make this

[stellaruniversexmpls]

@zettix1 10^15 is limit for double precision most programs used this precision

[golgofrinchian]

@romanmir01 Wow I just watched him on TED last month. He will be missed, thanks for the update.

[SLVGA]

@romanmir01 Indeed a much smaller place without him... He will be missed. :-(((

[soulhunger1]

@romanmir01 What?? I didn't know he died! D:

[zevex747]

at the end the universe explodes



[Argathronn]

worst fractal zoom ever...

[burningballoffire]

am i dead?

[fractalzooms]

such a cool zoom

[1NT3RL1NK]

Huston, we've got a problem

[SPACEDMADNESS42]

nice, but looks a little bit gliched. would be cool if you had it as a desktop background that was made so it would react to what ever audio you had on, changing as the pitch and beat changes. you would need a supercomputer to do what I just said, lol

Points to self "GEEK"

[EmperorOfMars]

does that shaky bit have to do with resolution?

[rockorsario]

looks like winamp milkdrop wich is better

[dewsplash]

@rockorsario You think winamps milkdrop looks better than a Mandelbrot zoom in?

[geweetwelwie]

onzin!!!

[horsemad1670]

Very well done , thank you. It reminds me of a close-up of a bramble leaf and an image of the foot-hills of the andes from space, both images look the same . An accident ? Nope!

[ClericDante]

Not bad, but very far from "best ever".

[eldiagrama]

REally cool, keep em coming

[TheShadowlin]

guys the blue cutting is artistic... like our minds trying to grasp the meaning of this zoom!

[sebulbaslovechild]

One of the craziest things I have ever seen. Damn!

[blackrose32]

lol the world just ended at the end of the video :))

[DontEatYell0wSnow]

what the hell did i just watch?

WHAT IS FRACTAL AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME :O!

[ArcanePath360]

@DontEatYell0wSnow Search: the Mandelbrot set in youtube and Google images and Wikipedia

[dianitachan1]

jajaja senti como si yo fuera la que estuviera ahi viendo todo

I felt as if you were there watching it all

[xXxDANMANxXx]

watch this when ur high (i dont do drugs and never have done them but im just saying haha)

[belley669]

@xXxDANMANxXx i watched it right now on magic mushrroom its fkin weird

[cookieeatbird]

The sides kept cutting out. Was this done in blender? There's a way to extend the camara's "seeing distance" (for lack of a better term) for the render.

[zettix1]

@cookieeatbird Actually it has nothing to do with the near and far planes but is instead a result of the mesh construction. I attempted to adapt the height of the generated mesh to consume the frame, but for reasons I don't understand, it crept downward until you could see its boarders.

[luc1pop]

@zettix1 It could be that you hit the limit of the numbers in the computer. A double has "only" the range: +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15 digits)

[phoenixbf]

is the final "tremble" related to math (floating point) precision?

[zettix1]

@phoenixbf Indeed. The c++ program that produced the input to the 3-D renderer is available via the link in the description. In short, fractals dwarf the precision of any fixed numerical representation.

[jimberkt]

@zettix1 kind of the same reason computers cant predict the weather very well... YET!

[kazee123]

dude wtf are these things supposed to be?! theyre crazy cuz it just keeps goin, but what exactly is it? what are fractals? just random shapes going into random shapes......?

[thesophster1231]

@kazee123 clever isnt it. It is part of the chaos theory. The chaos therory is basically that the slightest difference can change something dramatically, so you cant predict long term impossible predictions :O the slightest error can change things- or chaos, but there is an apparent order in the random things. This was found out by Lorenz a meteroligist who was trying to predict the weather for the week. The computer gave the precise digits of .506127 he then printed it out only using .506

[thesophster1231]

This changed the predicted weather on the computer from before,n lorenz noticed it.He discovered the slightest change,but tiny,could change something dramatically. It is also known as the butterfly effect.Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?just before Lorenz discovered this, Mandlebrot discovered something.The manlebrot set,so think of an equilateral triangle,then on the side adding another triangle and repeating this then zoomin in. U get strange patterns.

[thesophster1231]

@kazee123 There are mathematical formulas that you can type into some programmes on a computer and you will get this. People often mistake it as paisley patterns, which many people say is a natural organic design. Anyway the magnified image could look exactly the same as the one before magnification. WIERD!! It shows the infinite length surrounding a finite area. However some scientists believe in other things, that contradict this etc etc like many things in life lol. so yep there you go. :)

[Legoking45]

despite the camera being shaky, that was really cool :D

[DJHILIGHT]

no the best

[FundamentalPhysicist]

Love the end, it screams "numbers not defined" :D

[MeanKno]

yea...lol

[conzatorium]

Love the 3D drop-away extrusion!

[MatinoAdeAit]

Is that really 3d? That is a fractal!

Jk, I don't really know.

[sdx4ibvg9f23g8fr6]

O.O

[krychols]

CEV !

[standsonahillside]

I'm just now learning about this, This is all just math? Whould i be safe to say the princable was nether 2d or 3d? would you see nothing if you were in the center looking out?

[bigpotplant]

@standsonahillside Dont mean this to sound new age but,and there is always a but,you may be the center,and i might be to,who knows we may be the same thing,one of the things about youtube is its hard to share math principles on.

[wax78]

Nice

[luis95rox]

holy shit i just almost shit my pants that was trippy as fuuckk! xD

[sadgreen]

This zoom doesnt make any sense, probably b/c there is a limitation to the viewing distance otherwise it wouldnt be renderable as well.

Ah, I'll stick with 2d fractals.

[jimmyshitbags]

where can I learn more about this fractal stuff, like in depth, i want to understand these mad things? are they really understood?

[noergelstein]

The mandelbrot set is defined as the numbers C, for which the sequel Z(n)=Z(n-1)^2+C converges, where C and Z(n) are complex numbers, and Z(0)=0. So Z(n) is basically a really complicted 2^(n-1) degree polynomial. Thats where the complexity comes from.

If you are interested in this you should first start with complex numbers, and after that start with the fractals itselft.

You could also look at Iterated function systems (IFS), but their fractal behavior is mostly constructed and not "natural"

[jimmyshitbags]

@noergelstein can you reccomend any books that I could buy on the subject, or websites that could teach me about them from the most basic level?

[zombierobopirate]

Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications.

[jimmyshitbags]

thanks zombierobopirate, my uni library has it :D

[bigpotplant]

@jimmyshitbags Well if i can try to make you understand and i may be wrong,we have looked for years through SETI and maybe fractels of this kind our the message?

[Wraithofvolsunga]

@bigpotplant

except the problem that fractal geometry can occur naturally, its only a recursive formula. The best idea we can come up with for something that could not occur naturally is a series of binary primes.

[bigpotplant]

Do you think binary primes look a bit like aribic art?

[t3r4b173]

its just a 3D zoom of the mandelbrot set

[spyroonline175]

How the heck did whoever made this make this?!

[AnotherDay2010]
