Tinkering with Neural Style Transfer. Zooming in and feeding the results back into the style transfer creates a fractal-like level of increasing detail. New details emerge from the pixel soup at the center of the zoom - feels like the the network is dreaming. :)

This video is also part of my Daily Doodle series on BrainBlinks.com. Lots of Neural Style experiments and other digital WTFery.

$Fractal Forest on Kickstarter - 3D printable plants and props More info at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donwhitaker/fractal-forest-3d-printable-models?ref=9h13ra Im creating a collection of 3D-printable plants, trees, and props for tabletop gaming. These are fantasy and sci-fi plants that could easily fit into your Warhammer, D&D, Pathfinder, or Star Wars campaigns. The plants and props are collected around a Fractal theme with swirling limbs, repeating patterns, and intricate details. Many of the props were even created using fractal math. Exotic, organic shapes extracted from the fractal multiverse. Fully funded in 3 days! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donwhitaker/fractal-forest-3d-printable-models?ref=9h13ra music by Bob Hates Frank https://soundcloud.com/bob-hates-frank$ $Journey to the Cathedral This is a combination slideshow/timelapse that shows the process I went through when I created the Cathedral image I posted here the other day. This was about about 80 minutes in realtime. Its interesting that I spent nearly half the session tuning the lights and framing after I found my spot. I spent several more hours after this creating the four large images that you see at the end of the video. Take a closer look at the Cathedral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QvSH16-VlA Music is a Creative Commons licensed track called Could Be by CSoul and other Mixters Jenny Mayhem, Jesse Taylor, djolliej, Kirkoid, Tigoolio. http://ccmixter.org/files/CSoul/40340 Watch all of my 3D Fractal Vids: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBA14567494C6C3C2&feature=view_all Become a Mandelnaut!

$Searching for Shapes - Mandelbulb 3D Timelapse Goofing around in Mandelbulb 3D, looking for fractal Flora and Fauna to add to my collection. :) This is a timelapse screencast of my work in M3D cut with some higher quality renders of a few shapes. The ones with the shadows are rendered in ZBrush after processing the voxel stacks into 3D objects and splashing on a bit of paint. I made the music in iKaosillator with a few random, user-submitted loops.
