  • Projecting it with the Zr Zi Cr axes creates a great 3d cloud effect, how many points did you have to render? How long did the whole animation take to render?

  • @brainflakes: I don't remember how many points per frame exactly, but around a hundred million. A hundred frames took approximately 6 hours to render.

  • Creator's comment part 2.

    Note that the Mandelbrot/Buddhabrot does not have four spatial dimensions -it doesn't even deal with physical space to begin with! It's just that, when you render it, it can be interpreted as a 4D physical entity. That's just a means to get a handle on this mathematical concept and effectively represent it as an image -a beautiful image.

    In plain words, a fractal image is one that contains infinite copies of itself at different points and scales...

    Hi everyone!

    The Buddhabrot is just another way to render the Mandelbrot set, and it's called like that because it resembles some depictions of Buddha.

    All four dimensions are spatial -no time dimension involved-; watch the axes of coordinates (top-left): at certain points (the 4D rotations), there appear 4 axis (Zr, Zi, Cr, Ci), one for each dimension. Check your regular search engine for more info on the BBrot & 4 dimensional objects.

  • 4D is really 4 euclidian dimensions. It's hard to imagine, but it can be computed. Some say you can imagine it by starting with 3 orthogonal axes and then you add a fourth orthogonal direction. Others say 4D is to 3D what 3D is to 2D. There is even a site where you can *learn* to visualize 4D : dimensions-math. org (please note I'm not related to them in any way, it's free and I'm not spamming thanks you)

  • math = life?

  • @TiagoTiagoT Or is this at full resolution already?

  • Can you please upload the higher resolution version to Youtube?

  • Music is fine.

    Change is the only thing that is permanent in life.

    The line "Nothings going to change my world" is the bluest of blues.

    Thank you for the presentation. Total relativity. All is change and change is all and that wont change. :-)

  • the vid was awsome but the music is fucked up dude seriously man

  • awesome vid but the music sucks

  • Fantastic video! Must thank you for the many hours of work it took to render this!

  • well i think ill become a buddhist now

  • I thought I could see the logistic map in one part of this animation.
