How do you see a fractal in four dimensions? I designed algorithms that compute and render 4D quaternion hyperfractals, then animated their 4D cross-sections on a sponsored render farm.
Key facts
- Mandelbrot → Mandelbulb → 4D
- 8× RTX 4090 + 4× Tesla T4
- Sponsored by Fox Renderfarm
The method
- Built up from the 2D Mandelbrot through 3D Mandelbulbs to 4D quaternions.
- Custom spherical-coordinate formulations, because Cartesian ones break down in four dimensions.
The render
- 4D cross-section animations, rendered continuously for two weeks.
- Hardware: 8 RTX 4090s and 4 Tesla T4s.
- Sponsored by Fox Renderfarm.
