Searching for Shapes - Mandelbulb 3D Timelapse @DonWhitaker

Uploaded August 2013 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

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.

$3D Fractal Artifacts - ZBrush Turntables Heres another batch of 3D fractal gems, mined from the Mandelbulb Multiverse. (^_^) I made a tutorial that shows how to create these fractal objects using Mandelbulb 3D and other free software: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpu-DZs9HXU&feature=share&list=PL67453435CBFEDB49$

$Fractal Forest 2 : 3D printable plants and terrain https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donwhitaker/fractal-forest-2 https://estreet.studio/ Print something weird for your next tabletop adventure!$ $Tutorial: Mandelbulb 3D to 3D Printer Using ZBrush In this tutorial I show my general workflow for taking a 3D fractal shape that was created in Mandelbulb 3D and prepping it in ZBrush for use at a 3D printing service. I show how to prepare files for single-color, and full-color prints. Pay What You Want to download this tutorial as a high quality MP4 video file: https://gum.co/zwMD This previous tutorial shows how to grab the 3D shape. It also shows some basic steps for prepping the object in a free app called MeshLab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpu-DZs9HXU&list=PL67453435CBFEDB49&index=5 Here is the .obj file that I start with in this tutorial if youd like to use it to follow along: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28306913/AngleNut2.pgm.obj$ $Paint My Workbench #1 - alien clown car Ive given myself a quest to actually finish painting all of the 3D printed minis on my workbench. Heres an update where I show a few finished pieces and the progress on others. Im posting more pics of it all on Instagram, too. https://www.instagram.com/brain_blinks/ Several of the models in this vid are from my Fractal Forest collection. The Kickstarter is done but you can still pre-order. Over 60 fantasy plants and fractal artifacts to 3D print. https://don-whitaker.itch.io/fractal-forest This vertical video is an experiment - trying making quick vids with my phone. I know many people hate vertical vids, but it feels pretty natural if you are watching on phone. At any rate - so far its been a big hassle to process and upload the clips. Might try some more with a different approach, but it certainly didnt save me any time on this attempt.$
