I published my first Fractal on the 31st of December 2013. After that, 2014 has been a very Fractalicious year for me. Thanks to a very supportive community, I’ve produced some 20 little fractal clips that total more than an hour of running time. Currently, I’m in the process of figuring out how I’m going to release my latest project, “Foreign Nature”, which will play on an Oculus VR, 360 degrees around us.
Let’s hope that 2015 will bring forth a hell of a lot more Fractaliciousness!

$Fractalicious 7 You may interpret this faux trailer in two ways: 1) This is the next installment of my Fractalicious series, this time in trailer format. 2) This is a proof of concept trailer of an actual film filled to the brim with 3d fractals and other nouveau techniques. If you happen to be a film producer looking for fresh ideas, please choose option 2. music is taken from How to make a Blockbuster Movie Trailer by Auralnauts all fractals rendered in Mandelbulb3d$ $Immersive exhibitions in Amsterdam and Houston (part 4) Houston exhibit: https://www.artechouse.com/program/fractal-worlds-houston/ Unfortunately the Amsterdam exhibit has already ended at the time of editing this.

If youre interested in wielding the power of fractals in your CG work and combining it with packages like Nuke, 3dsMAX or Maya, this is for you.$

$Recurrence An infinite descent into my city. music: Ryuichi Sakamoto - Life, Life This is my entry for the Ryuichi Sakamoto | async International short film competition www.sitesakamoto.com/contest/ www.julius-horsthuis.com www.facebook.com/JuliusHorsthuisFractals/ As the base geometry is a purely mathematical fractal, the Deep Learning style transfer algorithm tries to match the fractal with an aerial photo of my city. The result is dream-like recurrence.

That is unless you start to forget the world around you and let your imagination fill in the fractal void. Every nook and cranny will start to come alive – have a purpose. The deeper you go, the more intense this place will feel. You’ll be so immersed you won’t comprehend that this massive world exists almost entirely in your imagination - since the mathematical formula to create this world is so tiny I could text it to you.
