Day 16 | Fractal

Barnsley Fern System

Fractals are something I have a hard time understanding, so I wasn’t sure what to make for today. During my search, I came across the Barnsley Fern algorithm, so I tried recreating the Barnsley Fern mathematical transformations inside Houdini.

Day 16 | Fractal

I chose the Julia set for today's fractal. It has these inherent science fiction qualities that I really love.

The sound design was added in Resolve.

Used some calculated fractals to drive a grain sim.
Also added a playblast as I didn't had enough time today to render a full sequence.
