When Will The Madness End!? - The Never-Ending Fibonacci Cubes

Watch as these magic cubes keep partially filling this hole, but do not seem to ever fully fill it. The pattern just keeps going on and on and on and on. When will it finally fill the hole? When will the madness end?!

This was a fun but tedious Blender project that I've bene working on for quite some time. It uses the "Fibonacci Sequence" or "The Golden Rule", where size of each cube is dictated by the two preceding ones ( ex - 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, etc ). "The Golden Ratio" numbers is basically 1.618. Making this video, I was able to learn more about Fibonacci and 'procedural materials' in Blender, done the correct way. The materials I used in this video are "clay roof tiles", "patterned brick", "rocket terrain" and "snow", which assets I downloaded from Polyhaven.com.

The original creator of this idea is "Jake Fellman", whom you can find on Youtube. And thanks goes out to "CG Geek" of Youtube for his extensive Blender tutorial on how to duplicate Jake's Blender project.

Wikipedia: Fibonacci Sequence

In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fn . Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1 and some (as did Fibonacci) from 1 and 2. Starting from 0 and 1, the sequence begins

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... (sequence A000045 in the OEIS)

A tiling with squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and 21, The Fibonacci numbers were first described in Indian mathematics as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on enumerating possible patterns of Sanskrit poetry formed from syllables of two lengths. They are named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci.

Fibonacci numbers appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much so that there is an entire journal dedicated to their study, the Fibonacci Quarterly. Applications of Fibonacci numbers include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distributed systems. They also appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, the arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruit sprouts of a pineapple, the flowering of an artichoke, and the arrangement of a pine cone's bracts, though they do not occur in all species.

Fibonacci numbers are also strongly related to the golden ratio: Binet's formula expresses the n-th Fibonacci number in terms of n and the golden ratio, and implies that the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers tends to the golden ratio as n increases. Fibonacci numbers are also closely related to Lucas numbers, which obey the same recurrence relation and with the Fibonacci numbers form a complementary pair of Lucas sequences.
