• Excellent starter program when learning about fractals.

  annemaccatFebruary 19, 2013

  Pros

  Tutorial is ok, filters are standard ones, able to enter your own formulas, colors - once you learn how to come up with the info needed. Fun to explore with when you've never done any kind of fractals before, helps you understand what all the different fractal terms mean. You can start creating fractals quickly with this program. Bonus: It's free.

  Cons

  The tutorial help was hard to adjust and use at times for me. Very simple but did help understand the very basics needed but not the more advanced stuff.

  Summary

  It's the second simple fractal program I've used. It's helped me create a basic fractal to use with my other paint tool program to add interesting starter point or background. Learning from it is helping me understand the more advanced Fractal programs much better while I'm learning them. Good Starter.

• Incredible software, it opens the eyes...

  GanXodusNovember 6, 2011

  Pros

  If you want to know more a bout fractals or explore various types of fractals even just at random, this is the tool to do it with

  Cons

  it has its limitations in memory usage and processor core usage, the next step would be to rebuild it on a more complex API like OpenGL so as to manage memory better, improve scalability, begin multithreading the program, and start using the compute power of new generation graphics cards ;)

  Summary

  in summary this program has SO MUCH potential, we all need to invest in this... at some point maybe, withenough processing power we can get to the point in which we can explore fractals in 3D... one day! :D

  Pros

  Easy to use Can enter own formulae Autopilot mode will zoom in or out of an image smoothly The help explains about fractals and gives animated examples

  Cons

  Really can't think of any

  Summary

  Everything is provided, including mathematical explanations, to explore and learn to understand fractals. Well put together program with ample examples and tutorials.

  Pros

  Best fractal generator/manipulator I've found.

  Cons

  Interface could be better, but if you run the help tutorial and take a few notes you'll be flying

• Infinite creativity

  Brummel 78October 2, 2008

  Pros

  Amazing fractals. You have many parameters to create and adjust fractals until they are just right. You can start with a madlebrot, do a julia on it then do a cat's eye on it, etc.

  Cons

  No real cons

  Summary

  What you can do is too much to list, it has filter control, pallet control, iteration control, zoom, rotaion, perturbation and many fractal formats to try... download it and see for yourself!
