In a jaw-dropping display of technical wizardry, Bad Normals unveils a mind-bending 4D fractal creation method using Blender that defies all norms. This isn't your run-of-the-mill fractal; oh no, it's a symphony of quaternions, complex numbers birthed in the depths of Irish genius back in 1843 by William Hamilton. By squaring and adding these mystical quaternions, the team catapults the classic Mandelbrot formula into the fourth dimension, a feat that would make even the most seasoned Blender aficionado's head spin.
Drawing inspiration from the hallowed halls of Keenan Crane's research, they deftly implement specialized code to handle quaternion multiplication and squaring with finesse. Through a meticulously crafted geometry nodes system named "Julia," they navigate the intricate dance of quaternion operations with the grace of a maestro conducting a symphony. With surgical precision, they dissect the quaternion multiplication process, manipulating vectors and components like a virtuoso to breathe life into the 4D Julia fractal, right before our very eyes.
But the magic doesn't stop there. The team delves into the realm of visual storytelling, converting the fractal output into a mesmerizing volume cube that unveils the complex beauty of their creation. Fine-tuning every aspect for optimal performance, they tweak parameters like resolution and bounds to unlock the full potential of their fractal masterpiece. By harnessing the power of symmetry and mirroring techniques, they not only streamline the generation process but also unleash a torrent of creativity that propels their work into a league of its own. And as colors and shaders dance across the fractal canvas, painting a vivid tapestry of artistry, one thing becomes abundantly clear - Bad Normals isn't just pushing boundaries; they're redefining what's possible in the world of 4D fractal artistry.
