The Infinite Ocean - Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom (4k 60fps)

It is interesting how the Mandelbrot starts to look like terrain with the right settings. I designed a colour scheme that kind of reminds me of the bottom of an ocean, with that bluish tinge that you get from underwater photos. I made the iteration division very low in this one so that the colour changes quickly, emphasising the tube like structures. The stripes are made from 100 different shades of blue. A subtle lighting effect is also added which helps give it a three dimensional feel at times. Best watched at high resolution, the YouTube compression has made some strange (but minor) artefacts. Make sure you pause in the second half and inspect the pattern on the valley floor. Patreons can already download the original high bit-rate version. This keyframes were rendered with the fractal art software Ultra Fractal in 8k. The video was then complied in After Effects, down-sampled to 4k. This isn’t an 8k upload, because YouTube just can’t seem to process them correctly lately.
