1,000,000 double pendulums

if you'd like to see more similar videos, please subscribe!

I wanted to see how it looked at 4K 60fps, but my colouring is nowhere near as good.

Render time: 8 hours on my humble i7-6700K. The code only uses one core, so it could be made a lot faster.

Each double pendulum starts one 100 millionth of a radian from the previous one.

The music is "Drifting at 432Hz" by Unicorn Heads

I love how you can see a "dent" on the top of the circle in the end. I'm assuming this is due to the trend in the pendulums to go downwards because of gravity.

Nice. I really liked how at the end it became a nearly uniform circle, kindof chaos led to order naturally

I feel like I'm watching a historical video right now, a short video without over a million views. I think I'm lucky enough that I stumbled upon this video before it gets recommended to every single users in Youtube.

this looks like one of those things you see when you start up a game and it like turns into the game company's logo

this is one of those videos youd expect to have 7m views getting randomly recommended to people, but it just is what it is

edit: this video tripled in views since I commented this, it's gonna happen, mark my words

[TheZandernator]

They way it slowly expands then completely envelopes itself is beautiful

“So how long did this take to render?”
“Yes.”

me: "how long did this take to render?"
computer: yes

I love at the beginning when it's just a line and you're like "that's not 1 million pendulums" and then in about two seconds they multiply into a trippy circle

[rosskrt]

I like how at 0:11 you can see the colors well spread apart before the pendulums start to go apeshit

[lolidkstudio]

wow, this would make for a really nice electronics company intro.

Thanks for all the views, likes, comments and subs everyone. Please subscribe otherwise the next video I upload will only get 10 views or something :p

I uploaded this video in August 2021 and until 3 days ago it only had a few hundred views and somehow YouTube has now started recommending it to people. I might have to start making more random videos.

[battadia]

This feels like the intro for some random company.

This is the type of mischievous tomfoolery I get up to when one falls asleep too quick at a sleepover
