 Mind-Boggling Fractals |
The Mind-Boggling
Fractals program makes it as easy as possible for you to create
the type of fractal images for which the program's author has
become internationally known - fractal images with sharply defined
elements having a rounded, 3D appearance. The program requires
no knowledge of fractals or mathematics and is suitable for both
fractal novices and fractal experts. Fractal novices will appreciate
the easy-to-use user interface and tutorial. Fractal experts
will appreciate having all of the author's fractal rendering
methods and equations in one program and the ability to switch
between them instantly. |
