Alien Land - A Fractal Journey HD 1080p/60fps
A fractal journey by Gerry Mantha. Exit, circle, and reenter an evolving alien fractal landscape in high definition using a smooth 60 frame per second frame rate.
Over 20,000 individual fractal images were created using the Mandelbulb 3D fractal generator, then later stitched
together to form the animation.
It took 3 computers working simultaneously for 6 weeks to
calculate all the fractal images.
All fractal images used in this animation were generated by Mandelbulb 3D
mandelbulb.com/2014/mandelbulb...
Special thanks to L.A Curry (Lenord) for sharing his fractal parameters from which much of this animation was based.

An endless mushroom cap. Amazing!
This was actually terrifying, amazing video but, with a indescribable unsettling feeling to it
I watched this in 2D-3D mode on a 3DTV and it was magic.
the new SCORN game is looking pretty interesting.
One of the best fractal videos that exists on youtube. Other videos often blurry, and 60 fps is a thing
im tripping so hard and this is one of the best fractals ive ever seen

Surreally relaxing, especially with that music droning in the background
This is the best 3D fractal animation I've seen! Thank you Gerry!
There needs to be more of these. HOURS of these particular ones. They're so amazing!
One of the best pieces of art ever made
This was cool, everything just started looking more realistic and more realistic as it progressed, until it looked literally like real roots in the ground.
Reminds me of doctor strange
Amazing amount of detail and complexity.
This is absolutely incredible and so inspiring
My fear of getting lost is striking hard after watching this...man this fractal is mind blowing !!!
So. Frikking. Awesome! And such a great track to go with the visuals. WELL DONE!
Scary and beautiful alien world
Ah, the stuff of nightmares. Great video!
absolutely absolutely stunning!
This is insane for real! A 3D version o a fractal
Belíssimo! Maravilhoso, Encantador! Eu Adoro seus Fractals.
This would be even more Fantastic in 360.
Woah. This is probably what coral looks like with en electron microscope
This not what my dreams look like, this is what they FEEL like
Something about having that infinite level of detail with fractals that give this an incredible sense of scale
Great work Gerry. Awesome!!
This is so beautiful.. why haven't you posted more?? I came to your page expecting see more beautiful videos, I'm soooo disappointed. Please make more or tell me where to find more videos made by you....
Damn it gets crazy as hell near the end. Would it be possible to see what it looks like in the center of the fractal?

I really wanted to go further. Who knows what I might have found! Unfortunately near the end, each frame was taking more than half an hour to generate because of the complexity and magnification. That means more than 24 hours to create one single second of video! I just got another computer working that was gifted to me, so I might start inside and just go deeper and deeper by keeping that computer running a couple months. We'll see!

nice use of hard shadows, lends the light a very real quality
Love it, very inspiring. The music is perfect.
Fate dei lavori bellissimi. In mezzo a tanta sporcizia, delle opere degne

Please make more of these. Make one that lasts an hour.
Gerry Mantha. You are one amazing person!
Thank you for this work, babe !! This is my favorite video. Have a good year !!
この様な素敵な動画、どのようにして制作しているのか不思議に思います。眺めていると、この空間へ引き込まれてゆくような感覚に陥ります。
incredible!
Fantastic. Small suggestion: Exclude the outermost 5% or so of the image (the border region) so that we don't see the errors in the screenspace (?) ambient occlusion.
Thank you so much !! Let's screen or even 3D print this kind of wonders in the World's most unexciting places

Is the "kalidescoping" effect due to the attempt to represent 2-dimensional math in 3 dimensions?
@GerryMantha
6 жыл бұрын
It is not "2-dimensional math". In the case of "2D" rendered escape-time fractals such as the basic flat Mandelbrot set, the complex number (C) consists of 2 components, the real part plus the imaginary part: (x + yi). Thus in our classic iterative Z -> Z^n + C, the C represents this imaginary/real pairing. When mapping this set to an image, the real and imaginary parts equate to the relative horizontal and vertical coordinates of each pixel being sampled. Either the point lies within the set, or it doesn't. The number of iterations taken with the Z^n + C applied to the sample point before it "escapes" (if it does) is assigned a color for an interesting design. The formulas used to create this fractal are also escape-time, but differ in that the complex number C is replaced by hypercomplex numbers, in this case a triplex number representing the 3 coordinates (x, y, and z) in Cartesian space. The kaleidoscopic effect at some points is actually due to a 4th dimension being added - temporal. The formula parameters are changing with time, and semi-self similar areas are joining or coming apart and transforming as time passes. When it comes to fractals, it's not really valid to think of them as being 2D or 3D or 4D etc. mathematical objects or sets. Fractal geometry isn't your classic Euclidean geometry. When we paint a picture of any fractal set, the visual "dimensional" appearance is simply one of interpretation of how we got there. Fractal mathematics is commonly applied to describing and predicting the state of "multi-dimensional" systems (over time). Think Brownian motion, pendulums, magnetic fields, or the classic 3+ orbital gravitational object problem where conventional differential (derivative) mathematics and classical geometry don't work well. And that's just a small sample. Fractals just incidentally can make pretty pictures too! ;-)

Gerry Mantha so what your saying is that the structures are disappearing because they are going into 4d? Bc to 2nd creatures we would look to be appearing and disappearing if we put our finger infront of it and take our finger out. This is because they can’t see up or down. Could that same thing be applied for this? Since we can actually see in 4d

@@GerryMantha After reading that .... I wish I could post a picture of the guy in the movie Scanners ... the moment when his head blew up! haha :D As a complete newbie I look and play with fractals from a purely artistic perspective (random happy events picking formulas by sticking a pin in them!, you could say) as I have absolutely no idea on the mathematics behind it, and never will. Cue .. the Scanners moment. :) I needed to comment that not only the shapes but the color, lighting and ambient fog on this looked simply spectacular. Loved it :) Thank you.
This is really nice. Did you make the music also? 60 FPS seems to make for smooth movement. And the slow precision of the camera movement makes for suspense and time to examine the surroundings. I'm doing 30 FPS..... my computer works long enough at that!
insanely good
Great job Gerry
OK, THATS impressive!
Watched baked. Had a great time
Great video! Would it be possible to post the parameters, so we can recreate some of the frames or animations?
Hi Gerry, I was wondering if you could share the parameters for this project, or at least point me to which projects from L.A. Curry you used parameters from. There are shapes here that dazzle my mind. Thank you much for posting!
This is our world just from a different perspective. What do you thing dust mites see? That’s what they see when they live in a carpet

Sadly is a HUGE file, about ~6 Gigs. At the time I mistakenly thought KZread would create a higher bit rate image if it were fed a higher bit rate image. I was wrong of course. Anyway, KZread's compression has improved in recent years, especially with the 60fps support. As long as you download at full 1080p/60fps you shouldn't have visible compression artifacts.
Really, HATS OFF TO YOU ( like Mr. Shaunduhpostman said here) Thank you for this enjoyment !!

Hi! I love this and Im curious as to how much you can manipulate to contents of the fractals? Like for example, making structures or parts of structures pulsate, spin, flash etc? If you can do this, then I would very much like to get in contact with you via email to talk more. Fantastic stuff! //Aron Parmerud

Obviously I can do this with fractals. The mathematics is still currently used in software to create movies such as Dr. Strange. The earliest movie I can remember that employed fractals for CGI was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Oh, and then there were movies like The Last Starfighter and Return of the Jedi. People have been doing this for special effects for many decades now. The greatest thing today is that computers have become much faster, so yes you too can do this at home! :)
