Since I started messing around with fractals I've been meaning to do something animated but hadn't gotten around to it until now. They're not the fastest thing to render and I have to choose between rendering and uploading a video(bit more work and people need to click on it) or rendering gifs(faster but worse quality because Steem has an image size upload limit) I went with the gifs. As I just wrote that it occurred to me I could probably host these elsewhere and just link to them. I might set something like that up for the future.
It has a very smeary look that I couldn't really appreciate in the stills I'd done up until now, but seeing it in motion it feels like there's a compressed state that the more balanced looking forms are constantly phasing in and out of. Really interesting.
This one looks like some sort of space blossom.
Wanted to focus a bit more on the close up details this time. The stills don't really have an implied sense of motion in them, it makes me wonder if I could see the entire life cycle of most living creatures in a few seconds would we all share some characteristics with this fractal animation? Hmm...
Anyway, it's almost Christmas. Happy Holidays to everyone that's relevant to. See you all in the next post.
