What you find here is a Blender Add-On to generate dynamically 75 famous and non famous "Strange Attractors".

I made a small gallery where you can watch all 75 strange attractor IMAGES

When i started this project there was not reasonable way to build those so called "Strange Attractors" with Geometry Nodes, so i asked "ChatGpt" to help me to develop a Addon for Blender. It all started with the question "hi chatgpt, i want to make a blender python script to build the "strange attractors" made for a blender platform. i was wondering if it would be possible to translate this to a blender python file to build the "strange attractors" in blender dynamically?" now after a dialogue of 100.000 lines i (we ChatGpt and me) have an answer - this addon.

So, one important thing to know if you buy it - i´am not a python developer nor a mathematics guru - it was a project to develop something interesting with the help of ChatGPT. I tested the product carefully on most windows & mac blender version between 2.9.3 to 4.2.1 and found no errors at all. But of course if you have a special surrounding it could happens that you run in some problems, where i could not help you or solve it.

Like in my other Projects, you´ll find a detailed description in the Documentation and the FAQ´s. Beside the Addon you´ll find two more files. The first is a blend.file which contains all the attractors in an "asset box", for a quick use you can drop them into your stage. Because the are normal curve objects, you can adjust those parameters by yourself. But - they are not dynamically! You can only adjust them like a normal curve object.

The second file is a blend.file "Animation &Material" which contains some nice gradient materials for those round curve objects. to give theme a beautiful look look. And it contains a "version 0 script" that i didn´t developed further because i couldn´t solve some issues. My intention was to make a animation feature to create videos of the "growing" process of the Strange Attractor, But i couldn´t find a solution to render those videos in eevee or cycles. Blender always crashes on rendering. But the viewport rendering is fine, so with a nice stage setup it looks as well great. But because it is un-stabile, i decided not to integrate this in the Addon itself. - so it is a bonus. The documentation is as well in the main documentation.

"The term 'Strange Attractor' refers to a type of attractor in dynamic systems that exhibits sensitive dependence on initial conditions, making the system's long-term behavior unpredictable. The most iconic example of a strange attractor is the Lorenz attractor. This three-dimensional structure is visually reminiscent of a butterfly or a mask. It was named after Edward N. Lorenz, who discovered it through his mathematical modeling of atmospheric phenomena."
