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.

0.4.6 (2012-12-04)

In this version it is possible to generate a series of images with increasing zoom level and optional rotation. This makes it possible to create very nice looking animations.

0.4.5 (2009-12-18)

This release adds the possibility to generate fractal images of arbitrary size. It also fixes some minor bugs and introduces an improved Windows installer.

0.4.4 (2008-07-28)

This release adds some minor improvements of the user interface.

0.4.3 (2008-05-12)

In this release two animation modes were added: color scrolling and mesh rotation. A few problems with Qt 4.4 were solved and some bugs were fixed making it a stable and feature-rich release.

0.4.2 (2008-04-29)

This release adds only one, but very interesting feature: rendering the fractal surface as a 3D mesh, using the OpenGL library for hardware-accelerated performance. It's possible to adjust the mesh resolution and various parameters of the view. The rendered image can also be saved or copied to clipboard.

0.4.1 (2008-04-14)

The new features in this version are: loading and saving bookmarks and color presets, full screen mode and copying and saving fractal images. This release also fixes a crash occurring on multi-core processors and some compilation problems.

0.4.0 (2008-03-25)

A new version of Fraqtive is available. It has a completely new generator engine with support for SSE2, multi-core processors, different variants of fractals and many optimizations for almost real-time user experience. Also the user interface has been completely redesigned and rewritten using Qt4 to make Fraqtive available for both Linux and Windows platforms.
