Hey all! In this video I'll explain the basics of kaleidoscopic iterated function systems. The KIFS can produce many different kinds of fractals and can even be extended to 3d.

I decided to give patrons 1 week early access to all new videos so enjoy!

Shader Coding: KIFS Fractals explained!

In this video I'll explain how to make a Koch Snowflake fractal. The Koch snowflake is an example of a kaleidoscopic iterated function system (KIFS) fractal.

Guys! I need some help! At 11:34, It makes it hard for me to understand how the reflection works here! The dot product between two vector is not the distance. Here we have the direction but how uv -= n * d works here? d is dot product I cannot understand the geometrical logic behind it. Could someone please explain this part to me?

The dot product in this case you could see as a vector projection: how many times does the vector n fit inside of the vector UV (arrow from the origin). Normally a vector projection needs the for product to be divided by the length of the vector you are projecting but because n is normalized (length 1) you don't have to do it in this case. There are many videos and articles about vector projection so just Google it if that's still unclear.
