A re-rendering of Gestalt in HD and 16:9. Since this film is basically a visualization of a mathematical body it is theoretically possible to render it in as high a resolution as technically feasible. One would always get more detail. The visual structures and transformations that one can see in the film are only inferior representations of much more complex visual ideas that exist in four-dimensional space and are not bound to a certain resolution or 3D representation. In theory it would be possible and more true to the original formula to show the visual transformations as a 3D hologram where one could then perceive different perspectives that are of course not available in the conventional film format.

    Absolutely beautiful.

    Did you use stereographic projection for 4D ->3D transformation, or some other methods to obtain the viewpoints?
  • Thorsten Fleisch 2 years ago
    thanks;-) I don't know, there might be more info on the 4d to 3d projection in the source code of the software that I used: physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/phy11733/index.html
  • thread_soul 2 years ago
    thank you, the software documentation was able to answer what I was curious about.

    When I first saw this 3 years ago, it made 4 dimensional space finally "click" for me... I have been fascinated ever since. It is so great to see it in HD. Thank you!

    This clicked with me too. Some of the patterns are familiar from space physics, looking like structures on the solar surface or magnetic reconnection models. On my list of "big questions" is how human perception can be entirely limited to 3 dimensions when obviously more exist. Realizing that Earth isn't actually flat revolutionized history, and similar revelations are just around the corner.

    I'm putting my hopes on the large hadron collider.

    mandelbulb can go home and hide behind a cupboard compared to this.
    what's with the audio/sound?
    is it generated fractally, too?
  • Thorsten Fleisch 2 weeks ago
    haha, thanks. played around with fm synthesis for the sound.
