[3D FRACTAL] the Designoid Dimension

In the 1990's Richard Dawkins coined the term Designoid to mean that what came up by accident but appears to be designed.
Fractals are filled with this Illusion of Design.

Why don't your videos have millions of views each? I swear if this were in a movie it would get an Oscar for best VFX.

[@RockBrentwood]

Why don't they have 1,000,000's of views? Yet. That's why.

[@Tiniuc]

Because most people won't, or can't, appreciate art.

[@relaksmindmusic]

It's because some of human being only can appreciate what his art work, not all humana the same as the way we think like this or had imagination.

[@groovydoo]

Julius, you are effing brilliant. You should do a "master class" - I would be your first paying student

[@alanrhyason]

i can only imagine the landscapes of highly evolved extraterrestrial races who have been around for billions of years in this and other universes. You present the viewer the opportunity to drift into their own interpretations - for me it is that, distant alien realms. So brilliant.

[@jamesscott8962]

Amazing mastery of this artform. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what I'm looking at. Awestruck.

[@josephzazulak5632]

You are, without a doubt, the Best 3D fractal animator in the world!!! Brilliant~

[@emtechproaudio6176]

This is a masterpiece in my opinion. Lots of detail in the images, and the camera movement is nice and slow, giving time to take it all in. The details and scope of 3d fractals in general are just amazing, and that's what I like to see. Awesome landscape / city style imagery here. The lighting is great! The music is just right - atmospheric and not distracting. Many other 3d fractal animations I've seen are trying to be overstimulating, with fast camera movements and constant change. I love to let my eyes go over the amazing details without having them whipped around the screen too much. Excellent video!

[@Melibond64]

4:23 I feel like I've seen that place in a dream, or another Life... It's like I've already been there.

[@seddd]

[@HueHanaejistla]

[@Melibond64]

@@HueHanaejistla I don't watch those movies.

[@algoa456]

One of your best works ever. Thank you. A pleasure to watch especially when I cast to my TV.

[@AGKyran]

I've just seen this video for the first time. I'm totally stunned. So many different feelings, like at a moment it's like ancient egypt, at another moment a big city, at another moment gigantic ships floating in the air... There's so much power to these fractals. Surely because fractals are one of the key of the universe, but your work makes it incredible. Really... you found the rabbit hole and got us to see some bits of it.

[@Gisthead]

I don't know the words of the easter that I experienced after watching this video! A perfect gem of art.

[@bellsTheorem1138]

Reminds me of the classic scifi art of the likes of John Berkey. Stunning!

[@HavocLoods]

Understanding the universe is like looking at this movie and trying to figure out what kind of math made it

[@ayounglivelysoulinanoldtir3512]

they seem to be huge, ancient, ruined cities. they reminded me of the H.P Lovecraft story, "the mountains of madness", where explorers discover a vast, ancient city, hundreds of millions of years old, in antarctica.

[@kevincooper9018]

This is truly amazing..

[@helsing]

There's something that comes alive inside my mind when watching your videos, Julius. I'm not sure what it may be, but it's something amazing and for that I'm grateful to you. Thank you!

[@AmperSand666]

This is the third of your videos I've watched in a row, and they made me to create a dedicated playlist entitled "Simply amazing" :P Honestly, it's really great work! Thanks for sharing!

[@jasonheinrich2058]

More really beautiful work. Love all your Mandelbulb edits!

[@peterbajzek7921]

This is probably my favorite of your works. Really beautiful.

[@boribhi]

This is a clear example that this work and fractals do NOT come by accident, so the term "Designoid" is not applicable. Thank you :)

[@StefanReich]

Frankly... your fractal design videos are the best

[@Tiniuc]

The atmosphere in this one is just stellar. (Please do VR renderings too!!!)

[@vVPhaetonVv]

Again, shapes, colours, light are exellent! "Visions of ancient future" looks like this title would fit too (dont mind if you use this for you creatinos or sorry if this already was used somewhere). Every frame would be cool wallpaper. Lol I almost forgot to "like"

[@Aphsinthys]

Incredible man... that was pure pleasure. Thank you very much

[@BOBMAN1980]

I've only watched a few minutes of your stuff, but already I know that You Know what you're doing. And you KNOW what you're 'doing' because you relent, and let the process make its own shape. This is what a promising future can look like. This is the ONLY way a promising future can look. Or it can be Heaven.

[@michaelkrick3818]

If you make this a 30 minute DVD Halloween window projection you will make millions, this is great!!!

[@NepenthesSloth]

Stunning ...as always. Love your work.

[@ekonoi2e]

One of the most biutyfull fractals landscape, I had seen. I would like to live in this town.

[@AquaNovaOfficial6621]

The part after 2:50 completely blew me away, such a grand view, very satisfying to watch and nicely accompanied by the music!

[@ruiFF77]

A dimension where adequate superlatives are hard to come by.... (Nice Work!)

[@AntiPattern123]

[@Qubot]

Beautiful

[@mikefromspace]

the distasteful blowing sand effect you can fix using engine settings under iterations and or step factor if memory serves me right. I had this for the longest time and was so happy when I finally figured it out. Render distance should be used sometimes, especially when you're trying to work on close items and not waste all day rendering images with pure junk in the background.

[@fCauneau]

julius, the only man who won't be disturbed the day he will cross accidentally the gate to the 7268th dimension. Beyond your skills and talents, I'm still amazed by your ability to explore those infinite universes. Thanks so much !!!

STUNNING. Do you have a course that teaches how to do this? I have Mandelbulb, but I'm just starting and I would LOVE to learn how to do this. Thank you!

[@Overxpossed]

geometry that follows algorithms which form complex shapes to the extent of the existence of intelligent life denying something superior doesn't looks "designoid" to me; all the opposite. However, amazing music! It's freaking cool, as well, the "random" landscapes.

[@ddddddd5425]

holy shit thats amazing

[@wauthethird]

Amazing work as always! I've always wondered how you add fog, volumetric lighting/god rays, and the scattered lights throughout the fractals. Is it something you do in After Effects?

[@julius-horsthuis]

Thank you! Mostly yes, all after effects. Check out this tutorial: www.julius-horsthuis.com/tutorials/#/underwater-fractal-tutorial/ Although what looks like god rays can actually be done in Mandelbulb, it's called dynamic fog.

[@bastelkleber6665]

This is absolutely amazing! Are you open to share the parameters for the last scene beginning at 2:50 ? If not, I understand, I just think it looks phenomenal and I would love to play around with them myself. Keep up the incredible work!
