The medicine buddha is said to be surrounded by blue light and emit blue rays of light. Some of the visualizations here even appear to show the medicine buddha holding his typical medicine bowl. Amazing.
It's pretty profound, although there is artistry in the rendering choices and color gradient choices, most of the beauty really does just come from churning thru that equation an insane number of times
As soon as I saw some mandelbrot set pics I said shit that looks like a little buddha in the middle. Then I come across these buddhabrot fractals. Pretty cool.
With rotation matrices, not quaternions. 4D rotation matrices have the same form as 3D matrices except they're a 4x4 grid of reals instead of 3x3. You don't need to understand them to use them, but have a peek at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix and you may get a sense of it.
It's complicated, but I'll try to give a quick summation. There are videos about the 'Mandelbrot Set', which explain it better. There are simple math equations which can be 'iterated' (that simply means what ever answer you get can be put back into the equation to get a new answer and then that new answer can be put back into the equation to get another new answer). Imagine 'a'+1. If I start with a=0 I get 0+1=1, then I plug the answer 1 into the equation a=1, so 1+1=2, then a=2 which gives 3, then 4 and on and on. You can imagine this would go to infinity. Certain equations don't go to infinity but have a strange behavior that depending on your starting values will either go to infinity or stay finite. The behavior of the equations are very erratic and chaotic as they are 'iterated' like above, meaning they don't go to infinity smoothly like the example I gave. Ok, now to make it more complicated, if you map the initial conditions to a grid and make the finite solutions black and the infinite solutions white, you get a very strange 'snowman' looking object. This is the Mandelbrot set. By adjusting the colors of the infinite series based on rapidity of approaching infinity, a colorized image occurs that cannot be explained or described. It it is literally the infinity of chaos producing amazing patterns of order and uniqueness beyond pretty much anything any human could come up with as an artist. And it all falls out of equations that are incredibly simple, but which iterate in a very erratic and chaotic way. The lesson is that there is pattern and order deep within the apparent chaos of this mathematics that we really cannot explain logically, and it appears there is deep order and beauty of an explainably complex nature. Check out Mandelbrot zooms on youtube. Keeping in mind all of the vast patterns and order and complexity you are looking at as you dive into the fine structure of this object are simply the results of running the equation z squared plus c. That's it, and from that comes infinite complexity and pattern. If you'll notice the patterns even after billions of iterations will always come back to familiar places, each of which is unique. I hope this helps. Enjoy viewing!
@jherbanson great description! The importance is that it comes from a somewhat simple equation where you feed the result back into the equation over and over again. It's impressive that renderings from such a simple equation looks so beautiful.
This is exactly how I think, wrapped around itself, echoing into an infinite, mirroring itself but some how there is still a link through all of it which I call the observer, just a theory
I love the bit where it converges back to a Mandelbrot then diverges again...
I have no idea what I just watched
but oh boy, is it beautiful
My favourite bit is at 0:14 when it rotates and looks like a 3D shape I might just understand if it would only continue for ... oh damnit!
feels ancient
Is our entire visible universe just a small part of a giant number set like this?
Do you one better. Our entire visible Universe can be found in this exact pattern.
This would explain the multiverse theory which is backed by the string theory. We are all part of something bigger!
yes
This sir is the most beautiful video on TH-cam
Absolutely beautiful!

Wonderfully beautiful, thank you!
and all that from z(n+1) = z(n)^2 + c... WOW
Yes. its just a normal mandelbrot set, but the drawing technique is different, look it up.
It's pretty profound, although there is artistry in the rendering choices and color gradient choices, most of the beauty really does just come from churning thru that equation an insane number of times
I haven't heard of this one before. Awesome renderings!
the colours make it look like a nebula
That's because the coloring method was inspired by false color images of nebula.
Three years and I get to give this comment the first like?
We met at sci.fractals back in 1993 :-)
As soon as I saw some mandelbrot set pics I said shit that looks like a little buddha in the middle.
Then I come across these buddhabrot fractals. Pretty cool.
now i know what i look at while high lol
Wow, this is amazing!
How to shatter a brain using nothing but a screen
Beautiful! Hope I can make mine that high of a quality some day!
Buddha
Bass drop is at 1:03
😂😂
How did you do the 4D rotations? Is this a quaternionic buddhabrot? Or is the 3rd and 4th dimensions made from the C points?

Looks à lot like Buddha indeed. Or Buddha looks like this.
Great comment. To the extent that the two can be compared, I want to say, who is copying who here?!
It was honorific to gave the 420. like to this masterpiece!
wanted to give it 432?
WOW!!!
Everybody liked that
Очень интересная сказка
😲😲👍👍👍
esto es del espacio verdad? es increible!
No, es la representación de un fractal.
Thats look like story about mandelbrot
It's drunk.
mandelbrot on drugs:
Can someone explain the importance of this?
It shows god real

I saw buddha

Makes sense to me actually
Holy fuck
Generator
Um
WTF
aaah yes, there is no god
ragenFOX keep your negative opinions to yourself
ragenFOX - looks at the thumbprint of God and decides that God doesn't exist... smh
*tips fedora*
Pretty graph!
