Description: 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.Last changelog:
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 (2009-12-1
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 (2008-07-2
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.
Hello, very nice work!
I have found a little bug on the builded version: the program crash when use the mouse wheel at low magnify.
Also I try to compile the source with Qt 4.3.2 and VC 2003 but it found the following error:
generatorcore.cpp(167) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 2708)
Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information
Regards
Thanks for your comment. I will check and fix this bug.
Handling complex templates in VC 2003 is very buggy, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work. Fraqtive compiles fine using VC 2005. Earlier versions are not supported (now that I know that for sure, I will add this information to the INSTALL file).
