Open Source Fractal Software

FractalNow provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals quickly and easily. It is made of both a command line tool, FractalNow, and a graphical tool, QFractalNow. The graphical tool, based on Qt library, allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures. Both tools are entirely multi-threaded and implement advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.

Perceptron is a video feedback engine with a variety of extraordinary graphical effects. Perceptron is an endless flow of transforming visuals. Perceptron * recursively transforms images and video streams in realtime and produces a combination of Julia fractals, IFS fractals, and chaotic patterns due to video feedback * evolves geometric patterns into the realm of infinite details and deepens the thought * records animations (movies) * saves and opens presets (state files) * loads user photographs or captures screen and webcam input * has user interface based on multiple mouse cursors, and almost the entire keyboard * has multiple windows and fullscreen mode * takes complex geometric transforms as input * applies numerous coloring techniques * smoothly transforms fractals and creates endless psychedelic journeys * resonates with the human perception Visit the Perceptron home page at http://perceptron.sourceforge.net
