Coding a 3D Fractal

Explore the fascinating world of 3D fractals in this 28-minute video tutorial. Learn how to extend the original Mandelbrot Set into 3D space and visualize it as a point cloud using Processing (Java). Dive into concepts such as triplex numbers, voxels, spherical coordinates, and the power of triplex numbers. Follow along as the instructor implements power formulas, converts Cartesian to spherical coordinates, and sets up the Mandelbulb. Witness the creation of the first Mandelbulb, optimize its visualization, and discover how to generate a pointcloud representation. Gain insights into potential variations and leave inspired to experiment with your own 3D fractal creations.
