Unfolding The Dragon | Fractal Curve |

  • Опубліковано 21 жов 2017
  • Dragon Curve is one of many self-similar fractal curves. It is also an example of a space-filling curve. The curve never crosses itself and does not meet at the ends. The same pattern is scaled by square root of two and twisted by 45 degree angle.
    You can build your own dragon curve by folding paper in half many times, and then unfolding it by 90 degrees. Learn more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve
    Thanks for watching :)

      Think Twice its the perimeter of the figure when the iterations tend to infinite, of course the details is limited why the tint and skin, so it isnt infinitely detailed, but its a good work, its look as detailed as the last iteration in the video

    @vpambs1pt 6 років тому +13

    I was about to ask a question but then I read the description!(what'd happen if we rotated 45º.)
    In the description instead of "patter", shouldn't it be "pattern"? Nevertheless, if we rotated 45º instead of 90º, how would the scale be? √(2) as well? or 2 or 1?´
    Edit: Now that I'm seeing better, if we rotated 45º, it'd intersect itself... right?
    Wow 70 hours to render? o.O? DOes the Cinema 4d use more CPU or GPU?
    And how much time do you take animating? Do you need to program or just know how to use cinema4d?
    Glamorous as always!
    How do you find these topics about non euclidean geometry?

    • @ThinkTwiceLtu
      @ThinkTwiceLtu  6 років тому +12

      Yes you're right it's "pattern", my bad. To be honest I'm not sure about the scale of the pattern, if we rotate by 45 degrees. I would imagine that the curve produced by using 45 degree angle instead of 90 degree angle would look a lot different. :)
      I didn't render the whole animation in one go, but overall it took around 70 hours. You don't need to know how to program to use cinema 4D, and it is not hard to learn how to use it. But there is an option there to use python for your animations. Cinema 4d uses both CPU and GPU but I'm using a laptop to do everything so I can only use my CPU haha. Having a GPU would definitely speed things up. I stumbled upon this topic in a book I recently bought on amazon, however It was not really worth buying , because the dragon curve was the only interesting topic there imo. In general books and google are my best options on learning about new topics like this. Thanks for asking :) feel free to contact me anytime.

    dragon curve is copied on one end and rotated 90°, julia set is complex square rooted, which is halved angles on one point and copied 180° around it and square rooted distances. dragon curve kinda looks like julia sets. I'll try make a mandelbrot set for dragon curves and see if it's fractal or something boring like circle. the most obvious way of doing it with moving the point of copy and rotate is circle.

    • @pranavkondapalli9306
      @pranavkondapalli9306 2 роки тому +1

      The ratio is based on the bounding box he drew, aka by sidelength. And it ends up to √2, cause only that number has this property of unfolding into itself. For example the ratio between standard metric A4 paper is 1:√2, because when you fold this paper in half, lengthwise, you get an A5 paper, and the ratio of the sides of that A5 paper are the same; 1:√2, just scaled by a factor of -2
