Menger sponge (Level 6). The current experiment $Menger sponge (Level 6). The current experimental versions of @blender.official (here: 2.92.0 Alpha) are introducing geometry nodes! They are used as modifiers and allow you to do operations which would normally involve scripting or the use of a plugin like Sverchok (which goes much deeper into parametric modelling, like Grasshopper for Rhino). There are only a few nodes there yet, but with transform/scale and boolean operations you're ready to do some fractals. So I tried to create one iteration for the Menger sponge: Starting with a cube (level 0), transforming it 20 times, doing a boolean union and scaling by 1/3 - done. This modifier can be stacked a few times. For my machine (Ryzen 7 3700X and 32GB RAM) level 5 was the upper limit. Applying a 6th modifier took hours and ended in Blender crashing (it just closed itself without a message). For the rendering the level 5 sponge was baked, cleaned up (limited dissolve) and copied as a link manually (Blender file is still ~850 MB). The rendering therefore shows what a level 6 Menger sponge looks like. In the first picture you're not able to see the 6th level, but in the second one zooming in proves that it's there. Still eager to go beyond level 5 with that method... 😉 Scene stats (for level 5): ~5.5 million vertices ~6.5 million faces ~13 million tris Rendered - of course - in Blender3D/Cycles. -- @blender.community @blenderartists #math #mathematics #fractals #fractalsart #fractalgeometry #3dfractal #menger #mengersponge #3dartwork #3dmodeling #graphicdesign #blender #blender3d #cyclesrender #dailyrender #rendering #algorithm #recursive #procedural #parametric #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #digitalart #computergraphics #structure #grid #geometry #art #axonometric #isometric$
