Description
The Ethereal DanceI was inspired for this animation from the stunning work of DarkBeam [ dark-beam.deviantart.com/art/T⦠].
This animated scene is however not a fractal; it was done in 3DSMax with plain modeling tools and (very) heavy instancing; there are about 260 objects in the foreground and animated layers in background. The shapes were placed in a rectangular lattice (odd layers) and a hexagonal lattice (even layers). So, there is some order to be perceived, but also the shapes appear a little randomized, somewhat like in a fractal.

animations don't often make me pause to look, but this one did. I really like it a lot -- I think, for me, it's that you didn't crank the speed up to 11 and kept the animation at a speed that people can actually appreciate.

Thank you! The idea belongs to DarkBeam, I only added a little animation.

Yes, but you had the vision to animate it. Β I particularly like how you mixed the hexagonal and square layouts on different levels to give a sense of fractal order. Β And... Β Β it looks really cool!!
