This animation is a representation of a journey inside an endless
fractal world embedded inside a limited icosahedral shape. It is a
combination of five different fractal formulas, each of which
activated at specific iterations. Two well-known examples of them
are IcosahedronIFS and Menger3 that make the first icosahedral shape
at the beginning of the animation and one of the most interesting
parts of the journey that takes place between 1:10 and 1:20 when
although it is expected to have the Sierpinski pattern infinitely
continued, suddenly at a magnification of 3.3 x 10^8 triangular
pattern starts vanishing and a new squarish 3D pattern says hello
and it seems as if we are going to have a Menger Sponge! This
animation was created in Mandelbulb3D program and more information
on its creation could be found in the proceedings of ISAMA 2011. The
music of the animation is also composed of a number of mathematical
sequences all put together in FractMus 2000 program.
