Fractal Architect is an iOS / iPadOS app for creating beautiful flame fractals. Flame fractals have an immense variety of forms and can be quite beautiful.
Flame fractals in the past were difficult to create and had an extremely high learning curver.
The tools in Fractal Architect are so powerful, that this is no longer the case.
The app supports iPad features like Split views, Multi-tasking, and Multiple Windows.
The app's UI was built from the ground up for Mobile devices.
The app's file format is the same as for Fractal Architect 5 and Fractal Architect X.
This is not a "Lite" fractal editor. It supports the same features found on its MacOS sister apps.
Its iOS fractal render engine is the exact same one inside its sister MacOS apps.
With iCloud you can open files created on MacOS and vice versa.
All Fractal Architect files have gorgeous Thumbnail and Quicklook preview images.
The Thumbnail of each file tells you what its first keyframe looks like.
Fractal Architect includes both a Metal render engine as well as a Native CPU render engine.
Metal performance is dependent on the power of the device's GPU.
On an 2018 iPad Pro, Metal is around 10 to 20x faster than CPU.
The Fractal Preview reveals the render peformance of both Metal and Native render engines, so you can see the performance for yourself.
Use Lua scripts to create sets of random fractals.
Non-scripted random fractal generator to explore the flame fractal universe.
Flexible random fractal generator. Select variations for pre/normal/post groups. Save Favorite Blends for use in the future.
The traditional tool of the Flame fractal artist.
Create the color gradients that color the fractal.
Easily create variants from a fractal with lots of control over the variant’s properties.
If video animation is important to you, then purchase the MacOS app.
But the essential step of creating great keyframe fractals as the foundation of your video animations, can be done easily with the iOS app.
