Shadow Land - Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom @MathsTown

Uploaded November 2019 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

A shadow filled journey into the Mandelbrot Set. A classic style zoom but with heavy shadowing added. The rate of zooming changes in this video, it starts quite quickly so we can get into the depths, then the pace slows down so you can see the features a little better later in the video.

Thank-you to my supporters on Patreon.

$The Endless Ocean - Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom A huge blue double header for you this week! Two videos with the same geometry, colour palette and music, but with completely different moods. This one is really another look at the Infinite Ocean idea that was popular a few months back, however I have added colour cycling, so things are moving a little. If you dont really like this style, you will probably like the companion video Blue Dreams (released tomorrow). Please hit subscribe. The idea for this came after being trolled in the comments section by someone saying that there is no artistic merit to the videos because it is computer generated. And while I certainly dont claim to be very artistic myself, it is certainly possible to control the style and mood of the video. There are certainly some awesome fractal artists out there, particularly those making still images. So to demonstrate what is possible, I thought I would make two videos with exactly the geometry and colour palette. Anyways, please let me know in the comments what you think, and which video is more to your taste. Unlike the Infinite Ocean video, this one is rendered with my own software and Kalles Fraktaler. This means that I can go much deeper, and create the video much faster. I created a Panel effect for my plugin which gives the coloured panels you see in this video. The video is also shaded to give it a pseudo-3D feel. The angle for the lighting effect is based on the angle at which the iteration count is increasing. Such shading is cue for the brain to interpret the image as having depth.

$Mandelbrot World Record Attempt - Part 3 (e4000 to e6000) The deepest Mandelbrot zoom ever! This zoom is over 24-hours long, uploaded to YouTube in 11 parts. It will finish on a mini-Mandelbrot. As such, I am claiming a world record for the deepest Mandelbrot video! I have kept to the traditional colouring style for this one. Consider playing your own music while you let this one roll. Sit back, relax, and soak it in. This will be the only time I ever attempt a video this deep. Rendering around the final mini-Mandelbrot is just too computationally expensive to try again; I have other things I wish to achieve now. If you wish to claim the deepest Mandelbrot title, and would like me to acknowledge it, here are my conditions: It must finish on a mini-Mandelbrot, it must be rendered in at least 4k, it should double in depth no faster than once per second, and you should publish the coordinates. Finally, a huge thank-you to my supporters on Patreon, and my loyal subscribers who have made this channel possible! If it wasn’t for you, this content would not exist. I always turn off mid-roll ads so you dont get interrupted!

(8k Technical Render) The Mandelbulb was an attempt to recreate the Mandelbrot Set in 3D. It was largely considered a failure at first. However, as I explore it further, and render it in higher detail, I am finding that the fractal has some quite interesting detail. The aim of this video is to show you what is actually there. So Ive called this a technical render, its not an attempt to be artistic. Please give me your thoughts in the comments. There two parts to this render: 0:00 Wide View of the Needle 1:42 Close-up View of the Needle 3D fractals are much harder to render than 2D fractals. There are a number of trade-offs to make as we cant simply assign colours to iteration counts. Most renderers for the Mandelbulb fractal rely on graphics card running at 32-bit precision. However this severely limits how close we can get. This is an attempt to render the Mandelbulb at full 64-bit double precision, which was done on a CPU. It is early days for my little software renderer, so there are a few problems, but it does expose some detail. It would not be possible to render the 2nd part of this video at 32-bit. It is significantly more zoomed in. The close-up view actually only takes you to the main mini-bulb shown in the fist video. It is significantly more zoomed, and you are seeing much less of the needle. Thank-you to my supporters on Patreon.

$Fractal Fluid - Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom A collaboration with musician & subscriber Boketto, who reached out to me with these awesome couple of tracks. I was going to use them on another project, but then I was inspired by the music to try and make this fluid-in-a-fractal. What are your thoughts? This video needs a high bit-rate, so make sure you have the quality set to at least 1080p, but 1440p would be better. You can find more Boketto here (be sure to drop by and subscribe): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChwGDJTj3jxSNJZHRLWbIPQ https://www.facebook.com/officialboketto (Also on Spotify) Tracks: Alew - Boketto At What Cost - Boketto.

$Blue Dreams - Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom Part two of the blue double header. This video as the same geometry and colour palette as the Endless Ocean video, but the mood is much more subdued. It uses normal colouring with a slope effect added for a subtle 3D feel Please hit subscribe. The idea for this came after being trolled in the comments section by someone saying that there is no artistic merit to the videos because it is computer generated. And while I certainly dont claim to be very artistic myself, it is certainly possible to control the style and mood of the video.
