Welcome to Fractal Forums

i am pleased to announce the next issue of the forums youtube show, this time a little modified using more cutscenes with detailed explanations and a second speaker, this issue covers:

- MandelX - New Fractal Discovered, Rendering Examples 2d, 3d and deeper look into the formula mechanics
- AudioSmithy - A Fractal music generating approach by new user robertinventer <- thank you!
- Minecraft Special - the ongoing web phenomena minecraft examined and fractals in minecraft

this time no multilingual recording, i am going to publish the english subtitle script soon for translation into other languages....

cutscene voice is the inventor of the drawtheshitler toilet paper, think about supporting him by buying a unique toilet paper

Very European, totally stylish. I must say I am impressed! Applause!

thank you :)

nice improvement, Chris!  :beer:

thank you, although more demanding to prepare, the recording is much more simplified because of the small parts that are then put together

I enjoyed it more than ever, great improvement... good work Chris!!

Send me the script anytime for making the spanish subs

P.S.: Who's the other voice?

thank you kali, the other voice is the director of the show, you already know him from the "gallery calender 2013 introduction" he is taking care of the script, the recording  and many other stuff, although not in the forums an active supporter of the case

lols, sometimes he pushes me into recording sessions rather than i need to push him, he seems to have fun with it ;)

Great job on this episode! I just watched through all six an it's a fun way to catch up with all of the history I've missed. I especially enjoyed the hand pushed transitions. I also found the explanation of the MandelX fractal to be particularity helpful with the way it was demonstrated showing each step with the manipulation of the grid. I've really been enjoying learning so much form everyone here, and thank you Chris and all involved with the production for taking the time to present the forum news in such a entertaining format!

yay, thank you blace, nice you had fun watching all the episodes, and see the progression, beside of the news i advise additionally watching the gallery,tutorial and history issues :D like share comment(that you did herewith ;))

:D

i forgot to mention, the director and cutscene speaker is the inventor of the drawtheshitler toilet paper:

Hey cKleihuis,

Just stopping by to say excellent job on the video, it was most informative and wonderfully done ;D Thanks for my spot in the limelight and kind words! :embarrass:

Sorry I've been absent and afk for some time, this no internet situation at home is most frustrating :/

Anyway, keep up the good work man, I look forward to many more great videos in the future :)

thank you hiato ;)
there will be more to come, next weekend, it will be either a tutorial on ultrafractal, an review of the mandelbox or a gallery issue featuring the "harlem shake"

 I wish I could say that I am surprised by the idea that one might find fractals in minecraft
Unfortunately, or more correctly I should say that it is not a surprise at all. Given a universe
of size N^(int f) with basis lower case n and infinite space, fractal self similarity is as obvious
as an arsehole is required in any species that has a gut.

 If you are surprised by the fact that although you start with "lego blocks" you can actually
still create an infinitely self similar construction, mainly by virtue of the concept of "copy &
paste" then I must state categorically that YOU ARE NOT THINKING.

 Minetypecraftyness is the self similar basis for which an infinite universe becomes realizable
even to lowly non-mathematical types. And believe me, I am not trying to be disparaging here!

 Artists have always seen themselves as somehow "above mathematics", and creative. And we
are truly thankful. But also, "real" art comes from a set of constraints such as those imposed
upon us as minecraft does: it sets us with a set of blocks from which to create a sound and
connected universe. By which I mean it fits within the constraints and yet exposes a sense
of the infinite in a way that until recently was only accessible to the mind, the imagination.

 Thanks very much for the ability to talk briefly about my opinion, and much more thanks
for the access to software such as mandelbulb3D that opens a wider sense of what might be
inspirational geometry. As always, thanks to the original mathematicians who gave so much
in years before, and thanks to those who appreciate the wonder that mathematics can give
rise to.

 As always,
great thanks to you for providing the forum.
Michael.

Very cool show

Here's my Minecraft video :)
