Being the "design" guy that I am, I was really impressed when I came across this short video that uses fractal animation. It gives you an idea of the infinite nature of the patterns by using extreme zooms. I watched a documentary on Benoit Mandelbrot a couple years back and I was really amazed when I found out how recently fractals had been discovered, 1975! Without fractals there would be no video games, because the fractal math is absolutely essential to render graphics on screen. Enough about fractals, lets get to the video.
"The end part a single frame took 18 minutes to render, and the whole 1:27 minute video needed 12 days nonstop rendering. I felt thats more than enough at the time. It was just my first experiment with Mandelbulb 3D, a freeware program, I'm not a film director or something...And as I heard its a kind of 3D version of the mandelbrot set. A new discovery that found nearly 1 year ago."
