Fractal generating software creates mathematical beauty through visualization. Modern computers may take seconds or minutes to complete a single high resolution fractal image. Images are generated for both simulation (modeling) and random fractals for art. Fractal generation used for modeling is part of realism in computer graphics. [2]
Apophysis is an open source fractal flame editor and renderer for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. [1]Apophysis has many features for creating and editing fractal flames, including an editor that allows one to directly edit the transforms by manipulating triangles, a mutations window, which applies random edits to the triangles, an adjust window, which allows the adjustment of coloring and ...
Chaotica is a commercial fractal art editor and renderer extending flam3 and Apophysis's functionality. There is also a free version with limited render resolution and animation length. There is also a free version with limited render resolution and animation length.
Computer scientist Keenan Crane, PhD, is asked to explain fractals to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.
MojoWorld was a commercial, fractal-based modelling program for the creation of digital landscapes, and attracted a following among artists who create space art and science fiction scenes. Originally created by Ken Musgrave , it was marketed commercially by his Pandromeda Inc. company.
Sterling is a fractal-generating computer program written in the C programming language in 1999 for Microsoft Windows by Stephen C. Ferguson. Sterling is now freeware while Sterling2 is a freeware version of Sterling with different algorithms.
The original Bryce software arose from work with fractal geometry to create realistic computer images of mountain ranges and coastlines. [5] An initial set of fractal based programs were developed by Ken Musgrave (who later created MojoWorld) a student of Benoît Mandelbrot, and extended by Eric Wenger.
The Windows 9x boot screen used color cycling to provide animation. The 3D maze screensaver included with earlier versions of Windows used color cycling to animate the four fractal textures available. The Amiga Boing Ball cycled the ball's checkerboard pattern between red and white to create the illusion of the ball rotating.
