I'm sure the building inspectors will approve my design once they finally manage to escape.

Log Cabin [Explained]

And this, my friends, is a fractal horse, which was inspired by a glitch in a 3D model of a friend’s horse OC XDD The portrait “sprouted” multiple snouts and I just had to take the idea and run off with it to “brew” more monsters.

Fractals was a bit of a challenging prompt for me. My first association with ‘fractals’ is the fibonacci sequence and endless spirals, and you know what that made me think of? The infinite realms.

Hard surfaces are hard for me, so yay for cel shading

wow, has it really been a year since the internet discovered Goncharov?

So in case anyone's following and seen my work with dragon and koch curves, and was curious about sierpinski's triangle, it can be represented with these sequences but unfortunately the process is more irregular so we cant pull the same tricks with binary sequences, at least in any manner that is immediately obvious.

Pictured above is a process where you double each element of the sequence, and pick a number to inject smaller triangles into, then repeat the process. With a bit of practice you can draw an eularian path that forms a sierpinski triangle.

If you wanna get really fancy you can vary the edge you break into smaller triangles each iteration, though its really, really hard to do on the fly

This is one i've always wanted to write a program to generate.

Animated Mandalas (With Code!)

In some of the rare times where I create something small and cool, I love sharing it with other people :)

For context, I've been working on a video game and started looking into some loading screens. I got carried away a bit, but I loved the capabilities and parameters I could experiment with here!

Since my game is set in a Mystery Solarpunk world, I was aiming for brighter and lighter color schemes :).

I was surprised with how beautiful all the parameter combinations can be!

Code

So if you want to try it yourself, feel free to check out the following repo:

https://github.com/AB3000/processing-fun/tree/main/MandalaRunner

You will need to download Processing in order to run it. It's a nice open-source sketchbook language built on top of Java to draw some cool visuals :)).

If you end up creating something with it, please tag me so I can see your creations! B)

Also, if you happen to have a GitHub account, I would love it if you could star the repo as well (but no pressure on this!) :))

Why Nature Loves Fractals

Trees, blood vessels, and rivers all follow branching patterns that make their pieces look very similar to their whole. We call this repeating, self-similar shape a fractal, and this Be Smart video explores why these branching patterns are so common, both in living and non-living systems.
