Fraqtive is a multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms that support 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.

Recent releases


Release Notes: 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.


Release Notes: The possibility to generate fractal images of arbitrary size was added. Some minor bugs were fixed. An improved Windows installer was introduced.


Release Notes: This release makes some minor improvements in the user interface.


Release Notes: 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.


Release Notes: This release adds one 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.
