Alien Land - A Fractal Journey HD 1080p/60fps

[@0NeverEver]

One of the best 3d fractals I have ever seen. Absolutely underrated!

[@G4ndolfTheGr4y]

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.

[@fluxa4432]

This was actually terrifying, amazing video but, with a indescribable unsettling feeling to it

[@malfunkt]

An endless mushroom cap. Amazing!

[@selviskk]

One of the best pieces of art ever made

[@tandavme]

One of the best fractal videos that exists on youtube. Other videos often blurry, and 60 fps is a thing

[@daveblandston6]

This is the best 3D fractal animation I've seen! Thank you Gerry!

[@cliph7759]

There needs to be more of these. HOURS of these particular ones. They're so amazing!

This is more like high dose shrooms or DMT. If brownies are doing this, something is seriously wrong and you should be concerned.

[@SE7EN306]

More like you found a type six civilization

[@justinc8586]

im tripping so hard and this is one of the best fractals ive ever seen

[@GerryMantha]

Thanks! Glad to have contributed to your interesting experience. LOL

[@PatriotIzzy]

If you were truly tripping, you would be seeing and creating your own limitless fractals. But maybe you never broke through ;P

[@theboogeyemil]

[@mesavage999]

I watched this in 2D-3D mode on a 3DTV and it was magic.

[@draekalloy3673]

Surreally relaxing, especially with that music droning in the background

[@yogitakukreja2296]

My fear of getting lost is striking hard after watching this...man this fractal is mind blowing !!!

[@robotarise5510]

Scary and beautiful alien world

[@joycehum547]

Gerry Mantha. You are one amazing person!

[@khyzan8527]

the new SCORN game is looking pretty interesting.

[@DylansWaffles]

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?

[@GerryMantha]

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!

[@ASSman864]

+SnivyDroid wow

[@autizmas]

its fractal theres no end you can zoom for infinity

[@GrandPrinceBlueblood]

Pinkerton97 It doesn’t have a center. That’s the scary part.

[@helenamaria710]

I 🤔 there is no center! Not as we imagine, anyway.

[@RynaxAlien]

Amazing amount of detail and complexity.

Ah, the stuff of nightmares. Great video!

[@PatDaliki]

This is absolutely incredible and so inspiring

[@_dimitri_1242]

This not what my dreams look like, this is what they FEEL like

[@darrenhudson9675]

Is the "kalidescoping" effect due to the attempt to represent 2-dimensional math in 3 dimensions?

[@GerryMantha]

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! ;-)

[@lucianocastillo694]

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

[@nifty130]

@@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.

[@LadyNicky007]

Crazy Cool! And this is without toking! 😳 Feels like I’m floating in & around an Alien planet... Love the music!! Wish this was presented in 4k & for a lengthy 12 minutes to watch on my Big Screen TV... You’re letting me smell the steak but you’re not letting me savour it!! 🤷‍♀️

[@olgagr7136]

Thank you for this work, babe !! This is my favorite video. Have a good year !!

[@wibblewobble1934]

Something about having that infinite level of detail with fractals that give this an incredible sense of scale

nice use of hard shadows, lends the light a very real quality

Hey awesome work, this fractal is absolutely stunning. Is there any chance to get the video file so I can use it as VJ? I love the rich detail in the video and I'm not sure if they get preserved when downloaded.

[@GerryMantha]

Sadly is a HUGE file, about ~6 Gigs. At the time I mistakenly thought KZbin would create a higher bit rate image if it were fed a higher bit rate image. I was wrong of course. Anyway, KZbin'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.
