Mandelbrot pointed out that nature doesn't consist of perfect shapes or smooth surfaces.
Instead, it's full of irregularities and complexities.

To truly understand and appreciate the natural world, we need a new way to describe these intricate shapes and patterns.
And that's exactly what this video sets out to do. It invites us to explore and appreciate the beautiful complexities of our world.

"Clouds are not spheres" has been possible thanks to decentralized RNDR network,
which rendered the whole short in around 24h instead of months on a few high end consumer GPUs.
The short film had its grand debut at the renowned Carrousel du Louvre in 2022.
This was a fitting venue to showcase the meeting of technology and art, and the beauty of natural complexity.
