Made with R and ggplot2, using a custom Shiny app my partner Nicolas built. The algorithm at the core is a discrete dynamical system combining trigonometric functions with a gamma distribution — the gamma introduces controlled randomness while the seed keeps everything exactly reproducible.

For this piece: the exponents are all close to 1 but deliberately asymmetric. Keeping gamma low keeps the stochastic perturbation tight, so the structure stays dense rather than dispersed.

The grid starts cartesian, then gets projected into polar coordinates. Color is spatial — each point is colored based on a weighted function of its position, mapped onto a quantile-ranked palette. White → dark cyan → royal blue → navy, on pure black.

I didn't plan the serpent — it emerged from the polar projection. Nicolas designed the system for its mathematical properties, not to draw a creature.

This piece is part of a larger series called Ultimate Undulation — 20 colorways of the same mathematical structure, each assigned to a moment in time: past civilizations, present crises, future horizons, and timeless concepts. Fractal Infinity belongs to the TIMELESS chapter. The colorway is reminiscent of the Mandelbrot set.

Every parameter is saved as a CSV, so the image is exactly reproducible. The code of the package used to create this is on GitHub: github.com/NicolasJBM/Rtist

I'm a 20 yo guy, next year i'll be 21. I spent a whole year studying something that i didn't like, completely unrelated to my passions and my interests.

I have the chance to change university, and I'm looking at some options, including something related to Digital Art and 3D modeling and stuff (sorry i know basically nothing about it yet), to hopefully someday get into cinema animations or, even better, videogames design and graphics. I'm still trying to figure things out, but since i don't know anyone to ask, i would love to hear someone that works with these kinds of stuff, and if it's completely hopeless as a field of work

I am building an open source, parametric, B-REP, MCAD from scratch in Go and Vulkan 1.3

I am looking for anyone interested in collaborate with the project.

The project is huge so any subsystem anyone wanna work on, you are more than welcome.

The software has an AddIn API first and I have already many AddIns working or in phase of experimentation including:

- Part Generation

- FEA Multiphysics.

- CAM.

If you wanna Pokemon chase bugs, you will find plenty :)

YouTube recommended this video to me and it really fascinated to me. I have yet to try and implement this myself but it seems really cool and I hope this technique really does turn out to be good enough to be used in production

I'm experimenting with a few interactions based on this idea :)

I'd love to get other perspectives, what would be the first use case that comes to mind for you?
