The Designoid Dimension - mindblowing 3D fractal animation

Fractal animation by Julius Horsthuis

Designoid - something that occurs in nature that has the appearance of being designed

This is 100% fractals. It's rendered in a program called "Mandelbulb 3D" with some post-production in AfterEffects. The artist has some nice tutorials on his channel!

lots of aliasing issues but i'm curious about the process. could be standard procedural CG.

Detail overload. If there were such a place I suspect I would get really bored and probably feel really isolated in such a ginormous sphere that I would go insane.

So much difference yet all the same.

Missing the human touch. Much like a prison. So cold.

interesting. unfortunately "mandelbulb" looks extremely limited. good for hardcore fractal nerds but not good for serious productions.

Well, the artist who made this video (in Mandelbulb 3D) earns a living as a fulltime fractal artist using this software. He produces music videos and concept art, all kinds of stuff. There's another program out there called "Mandelbulber" that isn't as sophisticated but Mandelbulb 3D is capable of producing stunning results imo. I don't think it's all that limited.

it doesn't implement well in a VFX pipeline (though he argues it *could). lack of camera import/export, lack of AOVs, lack of geo import/export, lack of motion blur make it pretty much untenable. plus too many errors, aliasing, noise that would require a lot of work to clean up.
