Hi!
This is a neat video that shows the power of blender (geometry nodes) to visualize math.
To illustrate how aperiodic Penrose tilings can be viewed as a projection from a 5 dimensional to a 2 dimensional space.

Thanks for that. Also, creating weighted bones for animation... Very fun. Actually, I need to get back into my python code I created for blender. Fwiw it generated the following fractal:

 Cool.. I have a sphere version:

Oh, that's nice. Can you move a camera into the fractal structure? Here is an inside shit of my sketchfab experiment:

Iirc, my code created the fractal out of a bunch of objects, then I condensed all of them into a single mesh. A single object instead of multiple objects. Pretty cool. Blender is nice. Mixed with python as a quick scripting language for it is even better. I don't not necessarily like python, but I will gladly use it in Blender.
