3D Mandelbox Zoom (Return to split point)

[medexamtoolsdotcom]

Paramount should have come to you to depict their Borg cubes. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Seriously, how did you do this? Fundamentally, it can't be made in any way like how normal fractals are made, unless you made a completely different number system, as normally there's a complex plane, and that's it, no 3rd dimension - and then to actually take the 3 dimensional structure and render it in 2 dimensional perspective, I can't think of how that might be done efficiently.

[daveblandston6]

Amazing! Thank you!

[FS1337]

I'm wondering how long it took your computer to process that. Must be like 5 years or something :D

[SouljaBoiQueer]

These things take years to load...

[mixedartmaster]

epic

[mixedartmaster]

Awesome

[raiki15]

Greater resolution than the real world!!!

[bCOiNproducer]

what a mind fuck! this has similarities to ideas of how the universe actually works

[ftlqed]

How does it have geometric polygonal aluminium cuts, does that stop rounding error?

[piplupsingularity]

360p has better sound quality than 480p? Strange...

[apewaxfilms]

i feel sick !

[EmmetEarwax]

This zoom is slow enough that my brain can adjust to each step -and not trip the phobia circuits that react to Mandelbulb zooms !

[mdoerkse]

This has a nice huge feeling. The slow zoom does that a bit.

[12magicKid12]

I'm going to go watch some tesseract videos to ease my brain.

[GoodDirk]

Really helps put life back into perspective. Thanks fractalzooms. Your attention to detail, commitment to answering comments, the zooms, and really the overall vibe you send into the youtube community is a real treat. Huge fan of your work. When I watch a great zoom, I feel like the scientists who discovered the background radiation from the big bang. I feel like I'm starring at the face of God.

[Tokeijikaku]

Why does the camera have to stop all the time >=[

[fractalzooms]

@Tokeijikaku I thought it might be nice to stop and absorb some of the detail on the way down. However "3D folded Mandelbox fractal zoom" is smooth and deep. I am returning to split point for a third time soon also and so especially for you I will try for smoother on that...

[drill2012]

@fractalzooms this is a genius video. Thank you. Once it blew my mind when i was on LSD. The moment its decelerating, the objects become extremely massive :) and it goes through again .

[The3PhoenixWithin]

@Tokeijikaku oh I was going say it was buffering/render tilt o: ? We can press press pause thank you >:3 *SyBlur~

[johnpold1993]

i love these fractals, theyre so trippy and addictive to watch, but its also so frustrating you are always getting closer and closer and never reach it! haha :D

[fractalzooms]

@johnpold1993 yes, so imagine that to create a smooth zoom into the surface you must continuously slow down the camera as you approach the surface - near the end of a zoom the camera is moved an unimaginably small fraction forward between keyframes or else we would shoot right past the surface!!!

[JustSomePerson888]

@Manuellaborer - who said fractal zooms have to be fast

[Manuellaborer]

@JustSomePerson888 Who said fractal zoom have to be painfully slow

[JustSomePerson888]

@Manuellaborer - just watch fast ones then, or if you use a player, loop it and watch it at x2 or x4

[Manuellaborer]

@JustSomePerson888 thanks Mre Genius

[JustSomePerson888]

@Manuellaborer - you never know, it might work

[MicahsWeird]

Like this if your stoned

[aqflarehawk]

Anyone thought this was Cybetron?

[Languepont]

I think I've been there. The weather was great but the salamander automatons were mating with ellipses in all of our favourite moongazing groves.

[cliftut]

I really like how even as you zoom in on microscopic details, you can still see the macroscopic scenery in the background.

[Murdilizer]

i just took a suuuuuuuper smoothe shit out of my man anus and i named it airgo iborgo...the sweet bread pooniferus a cousin of the family of jedi diarrhea....

[DZrache]

@Murdilizer

Go on...

[Murdilizer]

@DZrache So in time I opened up a port-a-potie door in the middle of the woods and to my suprise there was a fat guy in there and he was eating a burrito and putting Hot-Sauce on it, but before I could close the door he was like "hey it's cool essay, are you sure you don't want a bite?" and I was like.....sure,  so I did and it was the best burrito that I ever had in my life, I plan on telling my grandkids about it.

[DZrache]

@Murdilizer

Burritos ARE pretty damn incredible.

[mathscirocks]

what program did you use?

[interpird350]

You must have like a supercomputer to render this in less then like... years...

good job!



[wolfgangouille]

I wish YouTube had a "playing backward" button.

[MESS1]

i think those ads make a counter effect... it's getting me upset and not wanting any of that crap..

besides that, great vid !

[Arjetube]

Wow, it looks like Artwork of HR Giger !

[alexander2007xyz]

looks like inside the electron:)

[Hally456]

How long did it take to render this?

[MareTranquil]

Someone send this to the makers of the next Star Trek movie. I mean, wouldn't this make a great Borg superstructure?

[YouWerdn]

aliens ship

[PrinceGerman]

looks like an human starship in 1000 years

[GuardianofPersia]

im trippin the fuck out holy fuck

[Draakie100]

Great stuff.....TNX !!! But what I`d love to know is;"Are 3D fractals more GPU or CPU dependent?".(And keep`m coming) ;)

[triforcelink]

my mind was just blown

[vanderhuse]

is it Heaven or Hell?

[Allplussomeminus]

Is there a was to make the camera zoom faster? Btw, AWESOME music; it had me bobbin' my head.

[TreborsWorld]

Looks like something out of Transformers

[R1ckr011]

I've got nothing to say except: Subscribed!

[ony851]

sooooooooooo nice video

[Bastardoc]

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

[TheChamillionaree]

Goes a little slow but its the best thing ive seen

[TheQsHq]

Can anyone guess what video is getting fav'd right now ? I'll be watching it when I blaze my new bong tomorrow morning. get@me.

[kenyiskool2006]

i can finally show my gf why i was staring at my carpet when i was tripping

[Kuvastus]

This is the best Mandelbox zoom I've ever seen!

It's like a journey into an alien world... a world of organic technology, otherworldly battle stations, and alien architecture.

[fractalzooms]

@Kuvastus there is more to come....

[DorianBe]

GOOOD VIDEOOO!!! ^_^

[1958boomergirl]

This looks just like something nature would create. Thanks for the treat.

[RetroFuturistic8bit]

Maaaan this is amazing!, if only adobe after effects could generate this like it generates fractals :P what a wonderful world it would be!

[MegaMindfreak666]

1:19 to 2:38 reminds me of the eiffel tower.

[feverdude]

this has almost left me with a taste in my mouth :)

[cortesuprema]

the music is fucking superb!

[UnsignedVoid32]

Nice video, but the music is really annoying. I want to have the old rating system. Anyway, you get a thumb up from me.

[Gozchev]

So what amount of computing power and memory would be required to be able to explore a fractal like this in real-time, and how far off are we currently? I would love to spend some of my future free time exploring the infinite complexity and beauty of 3d fractals like this.

[kjknohw]

You really lose your sense of scale in 3d fractals!

[BattlestarGentoo]

Absolutely great. How long did it take to create this?

[sonja7halcyon]

This is how i imagine Malachite looks inside :)

[parkamark]

Makes a Borg cube look lame :-)

[fotosafariclub]

I need a segment for my short movie.... contact me ASAP

BTW we have nothing but DUBSTEP music if ya want it for your next one.

ASk us. We giveth free :)

[mike4ty4]

Wowwwwwwwww... the end is incredible, all that grandeur inside that "tiny" little spike.

[fractalzooms]

@mike4ty4 :)

[jumppack1]

@mike4ty4 thxs fir ruining it

[TheComputerism]

This reminds me the Matrix. Don't you?

[DollarTaco]

I've been watching these Mandelbox videos and there's one thing that I keep wanting to ask.

I understand that it's a 3d model and that you're controlling a "camera" that moves throughout it, but how exactly do you control the camera to be so graceful? Surely this can't be using the arrow keys and a mouse. That just can't be this smooth.

[fractalzooms]

@DollarTaco this animation was made by interpolating key frames.

[R1ckr011]

@fractalzooms Hmmm, is there an English translation of that phrase?

I imagine you could spend several videos just exploring this single animation.

[Yellowmedic]

This was absolutely amazing... the entire time watching this I was wondering if such an enormous structure could ever be possibly built. Anyway, any chance you'd do something like this with a star theme? Like zooming in on an enormous sun-like fractal?

[fractalzooms]

@Yellowmedic thanks for the inspiration :)

[iyBesao]

If only we can experience the real thing. (legally). hahaha!

[Rammstein2720]

@iyBesao No, but shrooms will do for now lol

[metdumond]

Fabulous! Fractal zooming at it's best!

[RECHTVAARDIGE1]

Nice borg cube.xD

[zymoticsspot]

Amazing video & nice track !!!

[TheTrancemaster90]

Pure art!

[TheMatrix72370]

@fractalzooms Thank you, and please keep me posted.

[sasusumasu]

H41909 - and even more frustrating fact is that you have feeling of beeing inside whole structure but no matter how hard you try u can't touch it ;)

[pisnahuj10]

I think this is evidence, that our universe can be defined by only on one single equation.

[uberdragonbreeze]

that looks like it's straight out of a video game

[opplevelse]

Seriously awesome.

[H41909]

It's so frustrating to know that no matter how small the scale, the whole cube is filled with the same level of detail; the camera teases us with tiny parts of the complexity we could see. And if we spent eight minutes zooming instead of four, we'd see the same level of detail unabated.

I'd personally like to see the camera rotate to see different faces of features more; it would also be interesting to get an idea of breadth as well as depth by zooming out and then in on a nearby feature.

[Zuljiin]

What you are experiencing  is a never-ending resource of beautiful natural geometric harmony, a blissful "symphony" of the myriad manifestations of infinity. No matter where you go, infinity is there.

[TheMatrix72370]

I'd love to see a Mandlebrot fractal zoom that looks like this. Can you make them?

[hackmaster124]

That crazy, its just a whole universe. I love this program, i just wish one could explore the mandlebox in real time

[crash6871]

Nice one. Thanks for going slow and zooming in on that tip.

[fractalzooms]

@crash6871 as much as I like a fast zoom sometimes its nice to go a bit slower and soak up a bit more of the detail :)

[Omegaroth]

VERY curious to know.. how many frames was this? And how long did it take to render? and what the hell are your computer's specs?? lol

[fractalzooms]

@Omegaroth 7200 frames

[Rockorollo]

lol looks like an ancient alien artifact with massive battleships as the point focus 0:53 to 1:11 i love this one!

[fractalzooms]

@Rockorollo thanks :)

[fun1k]

sweet

[MsBHoopingAllure]

Amazing.  Kudos!

[xoen6]

I wish that my beloved uncle could see this.

RIP, M.M.

[grungetv]

Great trip! As kitchendon says, there's a nice slow pace to this. Makes me want to try something similar.

[kitchendon]

Awesome. I like the slower pace of this, plenty of time to soak in the details.

[johnbozi]

this is way too good - I think it is like an acid trip. But I want to see this on a huge screen

[Omegaroth]

Amazing. I took a look at a program like this and I can't believe how you can animate a flight path like this with such slow rendering times. Much props to your patience.

[TooMuchToo0ften]

anti aliasing could be better, but I know where you`re coming from. Unless ur operating a quad core <1 year old then you dont really have much of an option besides committing hundreds of hours of CPU/GPU time.

Im really excited to see the kind of fractal graphics quantum computers could do.
