Fraqtive

Fraqtive is an open source, multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms supporting SSE2 and multi-core processors. It generates high quality anti-aliased images and renders 3D scenes using OpenGL. It allows real-time navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.

Main features:

  • Highly optimized calculations taking advantage of the SSE2 extension and multi-core processors with a special optimization algorithm
  • Zoom in and out, move and rotate the fractal in real time with the image automatically updated
  • Animated preview of the Julia fractal corresponding to the point under the cursor is drawn as mouse is moved
  • A color smoothing algorithm and image postprocessing for best image quality
  • Ability to render the 3D surface of the fractal for even better visualization of the fractal structure

Fraqtive 0.4.5 released

Fri, 2009-12-18 08:16 — mimec

It's been a long time since the last release, but I finally decided to make a new version. The main new feature in this release is the possibility to generate high quality fractal images of arbitrary size (up to 4000 x 4000 pixels) and save them in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP or PPM format. Also a few minor bugs were fixed. Finally, a new improved installer for Windows was created, allowing to install Fraqtive for current user or all users and using a much smaller, compressed executable file.
