Song by Ed Kuepper & Mark Dawson. A Kinks cover from Totally Wireless - The Triple J Acoustic Sessions 1993.

Graphics were rendered in the second half of 2021. Main software used is Manelbulber2. I discovered something I call 'autonomous animation' . As the viewpoint approaches a 3d fractal element it morphs in appearance and color. This type of animation can result from keyframing complex hybrid fractals.
It reminds me how the World rearranges itself around our thoughts, hopes and dreams.

Nice choice of music. Cool video.
Only I dont think there is only one steam train left ;) Maybe a couple. Songwriter should have said 'one of the last'

Thanks sallyanne and Issabella glad you enjoyed.

I just emailed Ed Kuepper a link to this video. I think he lives in Queensland Australia. Half of Australia is named after Queen Victoria. The rest is named after compass points (North, South, West).
And of course Tasmania is named after me :)

Great job there Tas. Always enjoy seeing your work. I'm especially impressed with the detail as you zoom in. It must've took forever to render that out?

Thanks for the comments guys. I spent 6 months on this as a background project. Each fractal clip takes about 9 or 10 hours to render. I had too many of them when I did the video.

I discovered some weird effect where the fractal seems to disintegrate revealing more fractal inside it. I called it 'auto animation' because the fractal is self animating to some degree. I'm trying to find out if other people know about it.

Cheers from here.
