# Fractals

Fractals are patterns which have details on all scales. A lot of my artistic and research time is spent on them.

See also pages about the Mandelbrot set, probably the most famous fractal.

# 1 Tools

Fraktaler 3

A cross-platform fast deep zoomer for hybrid escape time fractal graphics.

zoomasm

A tool to reproject exponential map keyframes into zoom videos.

Inflector Gadget

Inflector gadget for Julia morphing.

bs

Web browser based realtime Burning Ship fractal explorer.

Multifractal

Kalle’s Fraktaler 2 +

My fork of Kalle’s Fraktaler, a fast deep zoomer for escape time fractal graphics like the Mandelbrot set and Burning Ship, and is probably my most widely used software for fractals. For Windows, works in Wine. No longer updated.

et

Escape time fractals powered by a formula compiler. No longer updated.
