Amazing tutorial!!! Can't believe this is free. Thank you!! The one and only thing that tripped me up was at around 2:51, you cut away then cut back with that new node called "dot product" without explaining what you searched to get it and I spent like 10 mins trying to figure out why it wasn't searchable. This node is called "Add math" for anyone else who gets confused by this!!
I've been watching some videos about Blender here and there over the past few years and I'm using C4D myself. Almost every damn time I think to myself "that's a clever way of doing that". Blender seems to have gotten very intuitive and it seems like a really nice 3D application now. I'm reeeeeally considering switching my workflow to Blender, Mixer and Unreal Engine.
Joke's on you, most children don't care about art class, either (or even less than maths). If you want to convince teenagers, you need to explain to them how this gets them laid or high or helps them hack some online game so they get free items.
I do not understand a single thing about Blender but for some reason it was super interesting watching you create a 'Mandelbulb'. And I still dont know what that is. great video!
I made some fractals a few years ago but never thought about turning their volume into geometry! Then recentley followed 8 hours tutorial making marching cubes in blender, I am glad that marching cubes are not needed now!
Thanks for this video! I'm 56 and my dad brought home a TRS-80 Color Computer when I was 14 in 1980 that ran on 16KB of Microsoft BASIC and because of the limited RAM when you were creating animated graphics you had to decide if you wanted more colors and fewer pages, or more pages and fewer colors. The more pages you had the smoother the transitions you had and the higher the resolution you could get. Everything was like graph paper where if you wanted to draw a circle, square or line you would put in the column and row and then go from there. Circles and ellipses all started at the center and you would put in the radius, the height and width, put in the sin and cos, and you could do full circles or make partial circles, like if you were making a car fender you'd only want the top half of the circle, so you'd add commands to do from 270 - 90. Adding in subroutines to add 8-bit sound or a joystick command was a huge undertaking so when I see something like this I envy how easy kids have it today!
One thing that you can do to greatly improve the mesh quality is replace the less than before the density with a clamp((val*-1)+2, 0, 1). The less than creates a binary density with no smooth transition at all. The meshing of the volume greatly relies on there being a gradient to be able to smoothly interpolate between voxels. Less than creates those ugly voxel lines where the math solution preserves the gradient.

Very exciting, might have to pick that up from you just to support the effort. Lovely work, thanks for taking the time to explain everything. I'm glad you briefly touched on the previous Blender native iteration of bulbs-as-volume shader, which wasn't quite "good enough" - this geo nodes result is significantly more functional and aesthetically appealing. I'd love to follow along and port some more formulas eventually as well, that would be awesome. Also combined mutations and booleans ala MB3D & Mandelbulber would be crazy interesting.
You're awesome! I initially ended up with something resembling a sexy sea urchin. The mistake was using a sine instead of a cosine... my erroneous equation was w.z = wr * sin(wo) * sin (wi) instead of w.z = wr * sin (wo) * cos (wi)!
awesome video dude, I'd imagine that getting it to animate wouldn't be too difficult after plugging this up all together you'd just need to key values in your maths, id love to mess around with this, cheers for sharing and making it easy to follow.
I've been looking for how to do this in 3DS Max, but this makes me want to learn Blender even more now. Thanks for the great tutorial and you've gained a new Sub!!
I gave up 3ds max years ago. I wouldnt go back. The community of blender helps so much because everyone is using it. 3ds max is limited when looking at stuff online.
Cool stuff, As a programmer who loves tinkering with math I’d say: this is all just math, very cool actually you can “code” math in Blender, Hope one day I will take it seriously and learn the software, And the fact that you can actually “code” in the software just makes it more cool and appealing to me. Thanks.
This is the best Mandelbulb tutorial I've seen in a long time. I have a couple questions though: 1. What about animating the phase of the Mandelbulb? This is something I see missing from most Mandelbulb tutorials. Not to be confused with changing the value of the Exponent, which would animate the complexity over time. The complexity stays the same, but there is this constant blooming effect where new geometry flows out of the top and along the object and shrinks back into the bottom, a la Annihilation (or the simpler infinite flower bloom geometry node tutorials). I've tried to figure out where and how to add the phase value in shader-based Mandelbulbs, but it doesn't work the way I think it would. 2. Does the starting mesh matter or is it ignored after adding the Volume Cube and the Volume to Mesh nodes? I ask, because I'm wondering if starting with a metaball might result in a smoother looking Mandelbulb.
I have no idea how I got here, but your first question nerd sniped me, so I ended up spending some time improving someone's raymarching fractal renderer in Python to run fast enough that I could test some different approaches. Just progressively adding values to this video's "wo" variable seems to work as you render each subsequent frame. For some extra rotation you can also add an increasing offset to the "wi" variable. I made a very short video here (ua-cam.com/users/shortsf8ek83Z9SFo?feature=share) with a link to the code in the description if you're interested 🙂
Sorry to revive this, but did you managed to animate it? I'm looking to do exactly that like in Annihilation, but I'm new to geonodes and can't figure it out on my own yet
I made my first 3d art recently. I just woke up one day able to think in 3d. So I transformed my 2d channel logo into a 3d logo. It was a blast! I haven't released the 3d logo yet. Still using my 2d one. But I got a taste for doing 3d now. I'll definitely be doing more.
try this float wo = acos(w.y/wr) + angleParameter., it will animate nicely also wr can be used for simple orbitTrap coloring using a gradient palette. float orbitTrap = 1000.0; then include in iteration loop orbitTrap = min(wr, orbitTrap);; final orbitTrap value assigns point color from palette.
Any tips for getting a seamless loop? I just added a Value as angleParameter, but is there an actual angle node I should be using so like 0 = 360? or does it not work like that?
@@kylekobetitsch988 360 * 0.01745329252 (ie pi/180) should get you all the way back However you got to know interpolation method being used. I do not know enough about blender to advise you how.

@@carbunclegrim3419 Yep, have interp set to linear. I managed to create an empty, rotate it on Z-axis, and then use Object Info and Separate XYZ to pull that Z axis rotation to feed into angleParam. 0-360 didn't look seamless, but 0-152 looks pretty damn good? Maybe it just looks good since my resolution is down and won't line up when I bump it, I'm not sure. I don't understand the math enough yet to make sense of it, but I'll keep playing with it
you can start with earlier versions. Right now I'm using a Acer Aspire V laptop with the latest version of Blender. Its not the best but its still smooth enough for doing a lot of cool things still.
"Blender is getting crazy!" .... proceeds to open rocket science code. I kinda feel these sort of things need to be build as an addon (more user friendlier).
I will probably never have a computer that can do this again, but I've been working on space transformations on paper, and in cell animation, but if I could see them in full dimensions like how a computer can do, can't imagine. I can give diagrams and how each point moves in relation to a starting cube. Its a product of looking for a gradient spectral version of the traditional dimension meathurments going threw dimensional assention. It looks like starts growing points, but different from every angle.
I recreated this exactly the way you did it and im able to render a few images but only at 700 resolution, anything higher crashed my computer and I have a 3080, 32gb RAM, and a i7-10700F CPU, even have CUDA enabled. I really wanna make stuff like what's in your intro, I'm wondering, what specs did you need to pull that off?
I always loved fractals, the math behind them is intriguing, but what I still can't wrap my head around is how can such amazing piece of software like Blender be for free. Thank you for this inspiring tutorial!
The great Elon Musk said, when something is important enough, it must be done. Keep in mind the most influential applications of our time are free, windows, youtube, google, facebook etc
you added a volume to mesh at the end at 6:13 without saying anything and it became super confusing and adding it at a later stage doesnt work for some reason so I had to start over. I know this is for more advanced blender users but it would be a good idea to let your viewers know when you do something no?
again with those awesome intro Also, I can't believe that there a way to make mandelbulb with geonodes, I always wanted to make them but I couldn't do it, yet here it is, blender really has come a long way, and what is even crazier that blender will just keeps getting good and all of that for free.
Fabulous! Thanks for this, it saved me a lot of time; I have several books that give the algorithm but it would have taken me a few days to translate this instead of just the length of this video plus a few minutes for pauses and rewinds. One correction; an exponent of five will give a four-sided fractal; it's one less than the exponent, so if you want a five-sided Mandelbulb set your exponent to six. One as the exponent will give a sphere and zero gives nothing as far as I can tell.
I can think of so many applications for Mandelbrot sets other than art, like architecture, basically anything in manufacturing, city planning, medicine, etc etc etc
THANK YOU!!! TNice tutorials is such an amazing tutorial. I just got soft soft today and was playing around on it but had no clue how to really use it.
I know almost nothing about blender (I just played around with it a couple of years ago), but I know a bit more about fractals. This video might push me to download blender again and start working with fractals in it! Thansk alot :)
Super cool tutorial, it's great to see fractals generated with Geometry Nodes. I have one quick tip regarding the Volume to Mesh node. For performance it's typically best to leave it in "Grid" mode. This has the same effect that you try to achieve by passing the same resolution into the Volume Cube and Volume to Mesh node. Your solution almost does what you want, but not exactly. For any mode other than "Grid", the volume first has to be resampled to a different resolution, which is a very costly operation that should be avoided when possible.
Holy shit. I don't know how i got here, and i understand absolutely nothing, but damn this is fascinating... Can't imagine how badass it must be to be able to fully understand the posibilities this software gives you. I tried mapmaking with UnrealEd and did not come far. This is worlds beyond....

no idea what this is and why it was recommended to me. but holy cow does this look interesting. appreciate your insight!
THANK YOU!!! TNice tutorials is such an amazing tutorial. I just got soft soft today and was playing around on it but had no clue how to really use it.
Good job , tnx. Supported as I could.
Been waiting for blender to get here. Gonna have some fun.
I know almost nothing about blender (I just played around with it a couple of years ago), but I know a bit more about fractals. This video might push me to download blender again and start working with fractals in it! Thansk alot :)
I'll be over in the corner, crying, and reminding myself I don't have to understand this stuff to lover Blender!
Amaze.
This is mindblowing stuff.
good work king, love you
Amazing!! Love from Sweden
Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!
Amazing work, this is only the beginning for blender
Super cool tutorial, it's great to see fractals generated with Geometry Nodes.
I have one quick tip regarding the Volume to Mesh node. For performance it's typically best to leave it in "Grid" mode. This has the same effect that you try to achieve by passing the same resolution into the Volume Cube and Volume to Mesh node. Your solution almost does what you want, but not exactly.
For any mode other than "Grid", the volume first has to be resampled to a different resolution, which is a very costly operation that should be avoided when possible.
Blender is getting more sophisticated!
Holy shit. I don't know how i got here, and i understand absolutely nothing, but damn this is fascinating... Can't imagine how badass it must be to be able to fully understand the posibilities this software gives you. I tried mapmaking with UnrealEd and did not come far. This is worlds beyond....
This is some crazy stuff, keep up the good work🔥🔥
*Woah! Amazing work!*
TNice tutorials was honestly so helpful. I’ve been working around soft, whether it be church, singing in a band, or theatre for most of my life so tNice tutorials
Insane sir. You are a professional. You are such a brilliant. New here subscribed. Watching from India.
