Fractal Software To Create These Beautiful Fractals
There are many different kinds of fractal generating software out there, just waiting for an artist to create beautiful fractal images.Many of them are free and some of them even have creators who are members here at Deviant Art!.There are groups available that are devoted to specific programs....and there are groups that solicit your art no matter whichsoftware you choose to use. This journal will by no means be exhaustive, or complete.........but will give you some idea as to where YOU might like to start on your fractal-creating journey.
Incendia is a 3D Multiprocessor Fractal Engine that allows you to explore the realm of the 3D fractals.The program is in a development stage and has the following features:1024, 2048, 2560 and 3072 px image resolutions (4096 and 8192 px for donors)

APOPHYSIS 7x
created by
Apophysis has many features for creating and editing fractal flames, including an editor which allows one to directly edit the transforms by manipulating triangles, a mutations window, which applies random edits to the triangles, an adjust window, which allows the adjustment of coloring and location of the image.
Fractal Explorer
introduces you to the world of fractals. A world that seems to be chaotic but when you look closer, patterns emerge. Not only are fractals theoretical mathematical constructs; the theory of fractals can be applied to fractals in nature, too.Fractals are fascinating objects. Coastlines, mountains, trees, ferns and many more are fractals and cannot be calculated by general geometry. Fractal Geometry has to be applied to them to understand and calculate them. But Even if one does not understand the complex mathematics behind the fractals nevertheless they are stunning.Fractal Explorer is a freeware fractal generator that can produce mysterious and beautiful mathematically-based images. Not just a tool for professionals, FE can provide hours of entertainment for beginners and experts alike.You can download it for free here www.eclectasy.com/Fractal-Expl…
Mandelbulb, Mandelbulber, and Mandelbulb 3D
The Mandelbulb is a three-dimensional analogue of the Mandelbrot set, constructed by Daniel White and Paul Nylander using spherical coordinates. Mandelbulber is an experimental application that helps to make rendering 3D Mandelbrot fractals much more accessible. A few of the supported 3D fractals: Mandelbulb, Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, Quaternion, Trigonometric, Hypercomplex, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS). All of these can be combined into infinite variations with the ability to hybridize different formulas together.Visit Mandelbulber.com to find out about the application, download it, and see some of the amazing images that fractal artists have created using the software.Krzysztof Marczak. It is an easy to use, handy but experimental application designed to help you render 3D Mandelbrot fractals such as the Mandelbulb and some other kind of 3D fractals like the Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS).- Completely free, GNU GPL licence
- Runs under Windows and Linux (also 64-bit)
- GUI in GTK+ environment
- Complex 3D shading: hard shadows, ambient occlusion, environment mapping, fog, Depth of Field
- Key-frame animation of all floating-point parameter

- created by: Thomas Marsh and Jan Hubicka.
- Can be downloaded fractalfoundation.org/resource…
- XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer. It allows the user to continuously zoom in or out of a
- fractal in a fluid, continuous motion. This capability makes XaoS great for exploring fractals, and it’s fun!
- If you don’t know what fractals are, don’t worry. XaoS includes many animated tutorials that
- make learning about fractals fun and easy. These tutorials are also a great introduction to all of XaoS’s features.
Ultra Fractal
- created by : Frederik Slijkerman
- Ultra Fractal is a great way to create your own fractal art. Today, fractals are much more than
- the Mandelbrot sets that you may have seen before.
- With Ultra Fractal, you can choose from thousands of fractal types and coloring algorithms,
- zoom in as far as you want, use gradients to add color, and apply multiple layers to combine
- different fractals in one image.
- Ultra Fractal is very easy to use and yet more capable than any other fractal program. No mathematics required!
- The downloaded evaluation version is fully functional, except that exported and rendered images are marked as written by an evaluation copy.
- If you have a license for Ultra Fractal 5, enter it when starting the program to turn the trial version into a full version.
- If you want to keep using Ultra Fractal after the 30-day trial period,
- you must purchase a copy in the Ultra Fractal shop. You can also purchase a site license if you need more than one copy.
- Right now it runs between $39.00 and $129.00 American Dollars
- For more information about purchasing check it out here www.ultrafractal.com/shop/
Be sure and check out :iconUltra-Fractal-Redux: for some fun and challenges, as well as supportfor beginner and expert alike!
There are still so MANY other different types available to be used that I could not list them all
in image form, but here below are some places to help in your search

XtremeFractals2 Did you hear about this one?
:thumb410016269::thumb410016269::thumb410016269::thumb410016269::thumb410016269:
This will be the second incarnation of the fantastic fractal group started by !DsyneGrafix (https://www.deviantart.com/dsynegrafix) around 5 years ago. It has become so massive and hard to give
members the attention they have earned...and hopefully simplify the admin room and the submission process. I truly hope that the former members of XtremeFractal will comeagain and help make it great. Fractals should be seen by as many people as possible. Will You come and be part of this new adventure?
I know it can feel a little unstable when something new is started...but give this time, it WILL
Seeking Admins
If you are interested in a hands-on admin position here at Xtreme Fractals...Then please contact Jenny Lady-Compassion (https://www.deviantart.com/lady-compassion) directly.
I'm taking a DA sabbatical.
The fractal community holds a special place in my heart - thank you all for all the support and camaraderie you've shown.
XtremeFractals is the premier fractal group on DA - I've long believed that - before, during and after my time here as co-founder.
I encourage anyone with an interest in groups to join Jenny in running Xtreme. You will find it a thoroughly rewarding experience. I have!
Thank you for all your support :heart:
