Add-on Strange Attractors
Strange Attractors

Add Strange Attractor curves.
Add-on by 7bitretro
About What's New Reviews Version History
Aizawa Attractor Hadley Attractor Lorenz Mod 1 Attractor

Strange Attractors

forked from mtyka's Attractors

This fork is maintained by @7bitretro with some corrections from Spirou4D@laposte.net.

Changes from original fork:

  • Code fixed & updated to work with Blender 3.6 and above
  • TSUCS1 Attractor curve added

Creates a Strange Attractor curve in the 3D View.

A Strange Attractor is a concept in chaos theory that describes the behaviour of chaotic systems. One famous example is the Lorenz attractor, which emerged from a mathematical experiment in weather prediction and revealed an unexpected link between weather, chaos, and fractals. These attractors exhibit fascinating properties, such as points on the attractor being arbitrarily far apart at different times, making their behaviour quite unpredictable.

Instructions

  • Install the extension
  • In 3D View, press Shift + A to add an object and select Curve menu
  • Select Strange Attractors and choose from the list available
  • In the object data properties, play around with the settings in Geometry

It's an amazing add-on that can be used in science fiction films, and it's easy to use. Just press Shift + A, and you'll find the add-on in the Curves section.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

Thanks very much of the positive feedback. It was essential to be as easy as possible to use so anyone could generate the amazing shapes on offer.

Fantastic fun, I was making these with geometry nodes but this add-on is much, much faster and contains many more attractors than I was able to find the equations for. Just great fun.

Thanks for the positive feedback and glad you enjoy it!

Awesome! No error!

Beginner question: What texture is that in the image?

Thank you for the positive feedback.

It’s just a basic glass. The models have a number of point lights inside to get the glow.
