VFX Fractal Toolkit: Integrating Fractals Into VFX Pipeline

Authors: Juraj Tomori

Abstract

This paper proposes an innovative industry practice regarding fractal geometry generating and rendering processes. VFX Fractal Toolkit (VFT) aims to provide powerful, yet intuitive and artist-friendly workflows for exploration and generating of vast amounts of fractals. VFT allows for node-based description of fractals implemented in SideFX Houdini. VFT is built specifically for Visual Effects (VFX) pipelines and employs standard practices. It aims to provide artists with a toolset which would help them explore fractal forms of generative art directly in VFX applications.
