Fractal Art

Thanks to Olive Dorben I've become aware of this ever changing art exhibition:

3D Mandelbrot Fractal Art by Mac Kanashimi, 2013
- A minimalist exhibition at LEA: Linden Endowment for the Arts

[Overview]
Title: 3D Mandelbrot Fractal Art
Size: 256W, 256D, 64H/96H (meter)

[About the artwork]
The 3D Mandelbrot Fractal Art exhibit showcases sim-wide variations of mandelbrot fractal art.
The spectacular script-controlled fractal landscape changes many times throughout the day.
3D Mandelbrot Fractal Art is Mac Kanashimi's largest work until now.

[Details]
The exhibit shows three types of fractal:
- Mesh boxes, calculated pixel by pixel {1}.
  The three variations are: tall boxes, floating top, dropped top.
- Two mesh box layers with cylinders or spheres on top, calculated using the
  Distance Bound Method {1}. The six variations are:
  cylinders, cylinder stalactites, cylinder stalagmites,
  spheres, floating spheres, semispheres.
- 8 spheres, 8 tori, 8 tubes or 8 rings, calculated pixel by pixel {1}.
  Fixed resolution 96 x 192 pixels. The three variations are:
  hollow, inside out, complement.

A specially written C program does:
- calculate the number of iterations,
- group pixels of equal iteration into one prim where possible,
- prevent visible overlapping tall boxes and visible empty spaces below tall boxes,
- divide prims into objects of 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127 or 255 prims,
- ensure that the object is compliant with the linkability rule {4}.
Each fractal type is stored on notecards.
The colors are generated using HSL and converted to RGB {3}.

Playing with Light

Once the model is inside of Second Life there's a lot of options to play with light and shadow. Though there's no geographic settings for sunlight, SL still offers enough settings for quick visualization purpose. No postproduction effects added to this video beside text and transitions.

Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion in Unity project

Made a scale model in 3D MAX based on the 109 cm grid pavilion layout. Recearch of the fundació Mies van der Rohe plans made the 109 cm grid most likely grid to use instead of the 5th scheme 110 cm grid.
http://www.miesbcn.com/
The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) Although grid lines were not drawn in the early schemes, it is strongly thought that the grid system was used. 2) The grid lines which equally divide 12m, the inside measurement of the east-and-west wall of the pavilion change as follows: in the first scheme there are nine grids at intervals of 1.333m, in the second there are twelve at intervals of lm, in the third and fourth are eleven girds at intervals of 1.09m, and in the fifth at intervals of 1.1m. 3) Most of the positioning of the walls and the glass screens have been based a grid system, but some have been based on their specific size(12m and 7m, for instance). 4) It is thought that the fourth scheme drawn with an even grid system was preferred by Mies. However, an irregular grid system was used, partially to correspond to the site in the fifth scheme. (author abst.)
