Strange Attractors (Chaotic Fractals)

Despot · September 15, 2015, 07:53:47 AM

Generated in Cinema 4D as splines, with geometry created using a profile and SweepNURBS (see sweepNURBS.jpg), further work was done to split surfaces away to form the metal rinds

The Attractor splines were built using .cof (coffee script) files from Jurgen Meier's site here :

Normally, Strange Attractors are shown as 2D flat images (see 2D_rep.jpg). This is not a KS render, it's a render from a 2D fractal software package. I used it to illustrate how strange attractors are normally rendered.

So it's quite rare to see 'solid' representations... although there is a guy who did something similar to these a while ago.

I used KeyShot 6 for these, but they could have been rendered in 5 I suppose. Backplates created in Photoshop

Probably best to view them full size

That's some very nice work John, well done mate...

Love the close-ups and the glowing one

What kind of material did you use for the glowing one? It looks intriguing

This stuff goes way over my head

maybe I'll understand the entire process some day.

Till then, these look great. The last tryptych is my favorite.
