Elaborate Multiplex With Hooks And Cavities

thingiverse

An extraordinary fractal featuring cavities and hooks comes into view. Watch the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtUJlGSeV_s for an in-depth explanation of how this shape was created by a continuous cellular automaton, as well as information about other kaleidoscopic fractals that can be made using similar systems. Visit https://sites.google.com/site/richardsouthwell254/home to explore these systems further. They enable the generation of evolving multicolored fractals and breathtaking three-dimensional shapes. The concept behind the systems is that each cell takes on a value between zero and one, with each time step updating the value of every cell simultaneously using a straightforward rule based on averaging. In the video, I explain how these systems can be used to generate beautiful multicolored fractals that evolve over time. The way the system operates is determined by a single parameter value, which dictates the pattern generated - and changing this parameter causes the pattern to shift in an intricate and aesthetically pleasing manner. I also describe how three-dimensional versions of these continuous cellular automata can be used to generate elaborate solids, like the one printed in 3D.
