If this were a mothership, I'd be lost in two seconds. Please add street signs for the recursively challenged!

[@XDFreakLP]

Take some LSD and you'll change your mind on that statement :)

[@ryujitakayama9757]

XDFreakLPxD I am not sure I didnt. Its very ironic to call trip...

[@alexanderraidon2476]

This was a great sci fi trip better than movies

[@janluus9590]

I agree and they even put alien like music in this

[@KJack1111]

I can totally see this being a big-ass spacestation.

[@minnarewers3573]

Radon Mapping ye maybe with a mandelbtot spaceship like in the vid called Hidden Structures of the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets inhabiting it

[@ck88777]

That is what the core of an alien spacecraft looks like.

[@stickfigure805]

imagine an alien mothership and it's core is just an infinite fractal dimension with no access or exit points

[@khaotik.weirdo]

As I was watching this video, I was tried to picture it as a city, but it's near to impossible to conclude it's that, since it doesn't have to have an earthly kind of shape. I felt amazingly trapped and way beyond the bounds of space and time.I truly enjoy this kind of stuff, whether high or not.

[@khaotik.weirdo]

I tried*, the "was" before it escaped my notice.

[@patotaku007]

+etiar31 I always see this as a spacecraft station

[@user-we3pn1ok8q]

funny how somewhere, this exists in the universe yuh know?

[@SondraSneed]

It's fascinating how feelings are triggered in various visual spaces. Small spaces feel cramped but interesting, wide open caverns feel like expanses and the stomach drops. Just really interesting virtual experiences from artificially generated fractals.

[@lightningfirst689]

The two moods of the music totally change the feel of the visual element. Either utter dread and anxiety from such a vast, surreal space, or profound wonder and loneliness from... well, such a vast, surreal space. Also, epic clown face in the top left at the end!

[@PatriceAfriat]

Absolutely stunning! It's like a trip inside a huge psychedelic spaceship - best mandelbulb video I've seen so far!

[@jrersinghaus]

these are the most beautiful things i have ever seen, the most beautiful things i can possibly imagine. I see them sometimes when i close my eyes and relax.

[@bobbobby8121]

WOOW! One of the coolest fractals I've seen so far. These should be put in a compilation DVD.

[@ghostbusterz]

The structures you can make with fractals, especially in 3 dimensions, are incredible. I've never heard of a hybrid fractal though. What makes a fractal hybrid?

[@xlace]

It is hybrid because during iterations there are used several different fractal formulas. For instant in first iteration there is used Mandelbulb formula, in next Mandelbox and in some other IFS.

[@ghostbusterz]

Krzysztof Marczak Ah I see. Thanks for the reply.

[@AstralTraveler]

Krzysztof Marczak Gratulacje! Efekt jest niesamowity :)

[@thetimelords911]

I could see this being some kind of alien space station!

[@fayezsalka]

if only there is something like this in real time

[@YZOBEL5000]

quantum computers in future

[@akimotoblackout2737]

Fayez Salka LSD? DMT? Ketamin? Magic shrooms?

[@akimotoblackout2737]

Haniff Din Don't worry :) Safety first.

[@Matortheeternal]

If you generate a discrete set of the fractal (e.g. a voxel representation at a certain scale) you can explore a fractal object in real time. My engine does this: github.com/matortheeternal/CVoxelEngine

[@fayezsalka]

Very impressive work, wow!

[@SoftDevPhilosophy]

This is truly mind-blowing. I enjoyed watching it. But it doesn't look like a man-made thing. I also wouldn't say it is a computer-generated thing. The developer that programmed the computer to show us this "object" reminds me of a microscope-operator focusing his microscope on a certain target. The medium to view fractals are numbers and computers while the medium to view an insect's eye are light and a microscope. I suppose you had to go through a lot of memory-leak problems, CPU usage issues and multi-threading management problems. The end-result is really amazing and inspiring. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing it with us.

[@natetruehart7562]

It is infinitely detailed

[@alaingodineau6749]

"Trippy",excellent, mysterious work !

[@peeachediva]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! The music was perfect for this wonderful journey!!!! Awesome video!!!!!!

[@samuelkuhn4067]

Looks like a huge mothership

[@patotaku007]

It would be nice to render it for 360° and cardboard

[@Sparda937]

It feels like I'm walking in the adventerous maze and space. this is going straight to my favorites videos. You are amazing! :D

[@Debois1000]

Absolutely incredible. Parts of it seemed as if I were flying through a cave. Other times it was as if I was flying over alien cities. Loved it! Wonderful work.

[@GentleKing]

It's a real masterpiece of Fractal Art. Thank you very much for your contribution.

[@gdj1978]

Mesmerising! Nice work! Perfect music track chosen

[@thainmlh]

This is simply the BEST video I have ever seen on youtube...hands down....bar none. This is absolutely fantastic!

[@illformed-old]

One of the best ones so far! Excellent work :)

[@VioletWhirlwind]

Truly amazing...and the music makes it even better. Spectacular.

[@jonni2734]

This is sooo coool!!!! Awesome video!!

[@blandrys]

just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. awesome stuff!!

[@Surrealworldart1111]

This is so incredible...I'm speechless!!! Thank you for sharing

[@Catmandude]

Utterly awesome and completely mesmerizing.

[@iamafractal]

absolutely LOVE this :-) thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@DMdarkmatter]

Stunning trip!

[@ViolaFall]

sooooo relaxing... thank you for posting!:)

[@oCtodur]

WOW! I've been away from fractals for a while just to come back and see these new discoveries! Its not just simply amazing! Its MIND BLOWING! Great work on the software! I hope to start learning it these days. This video just takes my breath away! Excellent work! I hope that you will share more with the community! Thank YOU!

[@cooper1095]

still gotta say, I love seeing this every so often and it's just great 😌 if only there was more like this

[@ArthurStammet]

Fascinating trip, very well programmed.

[@JR1840]

well done.. definitely one of my favorites

[@Phaota]

Stunning art. It was like flying through a massive ancient alien craft.

[@Chris_t0]

where is this i want to visit one day

[@natetruehart7562]

Try heaven

[@albertoviale9729]

You just did it

[@gabrielassis1611]

Isdk!; j

[@jzonkel]

smoke some DMT

[@hellflipe]

I feel a bit nostalgic while watching this, I get the feeling that I know this place, but this whole idea don't make any sense to me. I'm actually really confused.

[@cavejelly]

so nice. Thanks for the efforts.

[@Rick_Foley]

You nailed the physics. Very smooth transitions.

[@Mephisarisa]

This has to be the best looking fractal zoom I've seen yet. The fractal is very beautiful and the rendering suits it perfectly. I also found the music very tasteful. :-)

[@hayden1059yt]

Great Work. Thanks

[@vas3138]

Thanks for sharing the software with us.

[@omniambience]

Awesome graphics AND music.

[@Catmandude]

Soundtrack is perfect, Well done.

[@PatrickGunderson]

This is what the inside of large spacecraft should look like. Self assembly with simple rules is so organic.

[@zahphodbeeblebrox5928]

dude, great video. skull popping!

[@osheaad]

FREAKIN' AWESOME!! BEAUTIFUL, MAJESTIC, ORDERLY, SERENE, PEACEFUL...

[@JamesFriedman3148]

I know this is art, because I feel changed and bettered for having seen it...thank you !!!

[@Michael_Moon4242]

So awesome. You make us see what no man has seen before.

[@AndyThomasStaff]

1:09 that was a really disrespectful flyby, putting the ceiling too close, I thought it would hurt. devil tre saxon

[@Raku777]

I would have to agree...This is the best fractal animation I have seen yet. 160 hours to render? I understand. How long did it take before rendering to set this up, compile it, set in all the camera points, etc.? It is an amazing amount of work. Are you going to try to create a 60 minute version and market it? It is worthy.

[@robinmaxwell1119]

Simply Magnificent! Beautiful chaos... of pattern... or whatever the hell just happened

[@linkfan196]

sometimes, i think people forget just how beautiful math can be. how a series of numbers, figures, and dimensions can give us something as individual and as completely alien as this. and change one small factor in the equation, you get something completely different. with an infinite number of numbers, there are literally multiple infinities of possibilities.

[@myztico369]

love the energy in this would be spectacular on a large screen in 3d

[@virginiaehafner2931]

I really like this and the music!

[@Nullrick]

So the "center" of a fractal is a visual central point of reference? Rather than a definite (nonexistent) center of a given fractal? Because it looks like they're pretty endless in details/depth, yet it's said they do have centers.

[@alternate241]

Yes you're correct. There is no true "center" because fractals, by definition, exhibit patterns that display at any given scale even as you approach infinitely large or small proportions. You could say that the center, wherever it is, is definitely contained somewhere within that square area. But there's no way to quantify it or point at its exact location.. unless you had an infinitely tiny finger :D

[@Adsknitter]

They have but they are a single point and you can't zoom in infinitely you can come as near as you want as long you don't touch it. Like the real numbers, there are infinite much but no one is infinite itself. But you can always come closer to infinity.

[@MrSpecOps]

Not really, since you can make a mathematical argument that the center is the halfway point between two equidistant vectors on either side of the fractal center.

[@mdoerkse]

Wicked shapes! Looks totally like an alien spacecraft.Can't wait til video games can do this sort of stuff real-time.

[@TheLetsbegin]

So pure freeness of mind body & of cource soul; V nice!

[@benbons]

I am so pleased to learn about this form of visual meditation tool thank you

[@Envergure]

This is a great Mandelbox. It's complex enough to be beautiful, but simple enough that the self-similarity is obvious. Excellent music, too.

[@DavidOBrienComposer]

Nice one Krzysztof! This is exactly the sort of thing this music was written for :-)

[@A_A828]

Is it weird that I find this a rather pleasurable experience, rather than scary/melancholic? It feels very relaxing. It's like visiting a complex, futuristic, organic temple of some sorts, and we're just gently flying through it, taking a look at it all.

[@silmarilxl5]

"... and saw that it was good." Thanks for this xlace.

[@onidog]

Fantastic !

[@onidog]

Outstanding!!!!

[@TheDarkSagan]

Wow man you've really taken this to another level. This one would look really good, with the same black that you used on the Mandelbox w/ the red background.

[@esdsix]

Incredible creation my friend. What an amazing perception..Someone was right, seeing something like this with 3D Shutter Glasses + The Music + HD 1080P = Eyecandy Bliss of the senses... Is anyone doing these Fractals in High Definition 3D?? I would love to see that..WOW!

[@Pterodactyl13]

Math, the final frontier. these are the voyages of the computer Xlace. it's mission, to go strange new places, to seek out new equations and new patterns. To boldly go where no man can ever go. This is beautiful.

[@Antifacio]

Immpresive.

[@JR1840]

i love how he shows how you can go around the center into the exact same room over and over again, i understand it ...wow.. trippy. mandelbrot set... the thumb print of god.. thats my religion

[@DMoneys36]

The knowledge that I can know that this goes for forever scares the shit out of me. but it's so fascinating that I can't help exploring

[@SwamiNeelamber]

Brilliant!

[@thaDjMauz]

Man I've had some life changing experiences to this video

[@skunkjee]

stunning

[@chronoray8786]

Wow, that was awesome. Felt a little like the "Myst" games.

[@dilomarco]

I am breathless, this video is a mystic experience through the mystere...

[@andyladan8970]

unbelivable - wish U the best !!!!! :-)

[@liuton2005]

The music is awesome!

[@venbrou]

This truly shows the beauty of mathematical perfection...

[@netabolt6546]

this is the most beautifull thing i ever saw in my life. its way better than real life. even though this is reality as we are living in a fractal infinite multiverse. but thats just beautifull right there. i would use this kind of fractal as an inspiration for my bookseries that i need to write. this fractal was the main reason i wanted to write about fractals. (well, maybe it was because of the Mandelbrot Set)

[@snidelywhiplash8399]

everything cold and glittering shifting in the light, windows into other rooms that recede forever.

[@sky44david]

Magnificent!

[@jarblewarble]

This fractal + virtual reality jetpack = heaven.

[@stormbear5433]

Awesome, this is how I imagine the insides of alien spaceships or buildings 😎

[@carolincas]

favorited! oh my god this is incredible.

[@Cambrand]

I have no idea what I just watched, but it's awesome.

[@QuantumFractal]

awesome. i bet this would be mind-blowing viewed in stereoscopic 3D :)

[@MagdaCwik]

You made my day!!!thx

[@handfullocheez]

this is excellent

[@AvoxionYT]

majestic af

[@robdoghd]

2:16 was definitely the setting of a dream

[@TECHNOFOREVERFROM]

Super cool clip

[@Sveta2011st]

Bravo!

[@Pesthuf]

This is precisely why I'm looking forward for newer processors. I can't wait to be able to explore these in real time.

[@WillyTheComposerOfficial]

Anybody else read "Trip to center of hybrid fractal" as a command?

[@Abtastix]

WillyTheComposer if you say so sir, I’m on it!

[@clearwavepro100]

thank you!

[@CassidyzBoo]

It looks like something from a dream. So mysterious.

[@LehdaRi]

OK now this is awesome.

[@sundaychops]

this has changed my life.

[@Slipknlov]

omg thanks for this
