    Another Program You Can Add To Your List Is Fractron 9000 Also Available For Free At Sourceforge.net. It's A GPU Based Fractal Generator That Uses OpenGL/OpenCL And CUDA To Generate Fractals In Near Real Time.

    Since It's Still In Beta It Doesn't Have All The Function Support And Bells And Whistles Like Apophysis But You Can Do A Lot With It; Virtually All OF Fractal Art Compositions Are Done With This Fractal Art Application.

    For Those That Are Interested In 3D Fractal Generation They Should Also Look At Incendia And Mandelbulb 3D; Both Which Are Free.

    Another Top Notch Fractal Generator Is UltraFractal I've Seen Fractal Artist Create Some Amazing Things With This Application.

    Thanks, Xzendor7, I have added links to the four(!) great looking fractal generators you mentioned. It is very appreciated.

    Great stuff!! I like your lens, very informative and engaging; I’m building a site Drinking how much is too much which is really useful for drinkers.

    Hey, great lens! I downloaded ChaosPro, and can't stop using it! I just can't figure out how to save the images except for screen capture and cropping -- not the best. Can you give me any tips?
  • cstr May 30, 2011 @ 11:54 pm | delete
    Yes, you can use the File menu, and open the Export submenu. Use "as Image" to save the fractal. Hope it helps!

    Another fractal generator is the Fractal Science Kit. Check out the fractal gallery at http://www.fractalsciencekit.com/gallery/gallery.htm for more fractal images.

    Hi There,
    I like your lens on fractals. Really very informative. i am an animator and cg artist for many years now and use fractals in my cg programmes, to design motion templates and adobe after effects templates - they are no less beautiful - just take a look here at my creations-

    Wow! This lens is great! You’ve put lots of usefull information about fractal images, thank you. I really would like to mention that you one of the images on the tie, that was awsome. Please visit my lens titled Download HD Movies and tell me what you think about it.

    Sorry, should have asked a minute ago. Will Fractint, being a DOS program work on Windows 7? Will I have a hard time finding a way to make a shortcut on my desktop like the other program?
  • Teresa Schwartz Sep 23, 2010 @ 2:42 am | delete
    Hi, I downloaded Apophysis, but can't find it anywhere on my computer to make an icon on my desktop. I was able to capture it on my taskbar, but that's it. Any suggestions? I think I've tried everything.

    That is so incredibly beautiful! I love it and am working on a way to incorporate it into my tattoo art. If you can use these futuristic elements with nature art, it would work really well.
    Here is another software program: http://www.ultrafractal.com/ I plan on using it at my site for tree tattoo art or for various natural art designs depicting nature.
    Thanks.

    I create fractals to relax. The other evening my hubby asked what I was doing and I told him and explained what a fractal is. He seemed amazed you could use computers and math to create beautiful art.

    Check this viewer out. Pretty fast for an online viewer. Can navigate both Mandelbrot & Julia, set the colors and some of the fractal set parameters.

    Just learned a new word today - Fractals. I've seen tons of these images online but never really knew what these are called. Might try making my own fractal. Thanks for coming with this lens and for providing resources. 5*

    I like your collection here. I was looking for a fractal programme that would do something in a larger scale than ChaosPro, I can't seem to change the image size for saving as a jpg, even after resizing it... Any ideas welcome ^_^
  • J_Edwards Feb 18, 2010 @ 10:49 am | delete
    These are stunning! I always wanted to know how there were made. And your lens helped.

  • puzzlemaker Feb 2, 2010 @ 8:06 am | delete
    Your "Fractals - the basics" is the best blurb I've read so far as to how these amazing things are formed. "The result is mapped to a colour, and so the images appear" this sentence is what I expected was happening in the inner workings of how the color relates to the equation, but I couldn't find anyone to confirm it until now. Thanks.

  • cstr Jun 18, 2009 @ 8:05 am | in reply to 0ctavias0fferings | delete
    A natural explanation can be that many fractal patterns are similar to patterns in nature, and possibly the Paisley patterns are inspired by nature? (I am not really an expert on Paisley patterns).
  • 0ctavias0fferings Jun 18, 2009 @ 7:40 am | delete
    I am constantly amazed how similar to ancient weaving and embroidery some fractals are, particularly something like the Paisley pattern which was popular in Victorian times. 5*
