The 'Fractalizator', a monster creator

thingiverse

The fractalizator is a monster object creator. This is an OpenSCAD script that simply takes a .STL model and iteratively adds it to itself following a radial pattern. This is done recursively so that in the end the resulting object appears like a fractal. You can use any .STL file to create your 'fractalizations'. Try to use simple objects and low ievel numbers at first to achieve some expertise, as complex model fractalizations could take a lot of time to be rendered and produce monster STL files. Anyway this is just for that, for producing MONSTER objects. I'm crazy I'm crazy I know... Instructions included in the code, so I don't repeat here. Download and install OpenSCAD if you don't have it. Download the files to a folder of you choice and open the .scad script. Press F5 for a quick view or F6 for a full render and STL creation. Included are a couple example fractalizations. One is a fractalization of a single cilynder, and the other is a monster fractalization of my Marvin model here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:971828 Happy fractalizations!! TODO: Fractals, as chaos are everywhere in nature, this is just a proof of concept. I was a fractal artist in the past,(in the very far past, when fractal maths were so dark) so expect much more if I have the time... I never give up on a true idea, or at least I try. In the meantime you can learn why your mobile phone doesn't need an external antenna anymore here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_antenna I definitely encourage you to google: fractals in nature Everybody see clouds every day not knowing what they see... UPDATE (21-JUL-2016): Fractalizator2 added. Increased 'fractalization' depth. Random ratios introduced to create almost unrepeatable variations each render. Nobody could repeat the same render twice!! Currently working in V3. Stay tunned...
