This time it is mathematics's fractals and self-similarity, which is turned into something visually, and conceptually spectacular. Self-similarity is a property of fractal geometry, which has taken great leaps in the computer graphics arena. We recognize the forms of this “mystery cave” as being natural, even if we’ve never seen them before. In this video, the principle is played out in mechanical looking forms. The camera can fly in and out of the forms, finding ever more intricate shapes, worlds within worlds. These tools suggest interesting possibilities for generating bizarre and convincing landscapes to be explored in games and films. To explore the software for such imagery creation go here The post originally was found at Gurney Journey's blog where. Fractals can be explained from a mathematical side , wikipedia also covers a relating topic of self-similarity (When an object is exactly or approximately similar to the part of itself) . Jame...
