Fractal Architect 3D – It’s Here Now

The Biggy – 2D & 3D Fractals

  • 2D, 3D, and mixed 2D/3D fractals.
  • No limits on the number of variations types that can be handled – 330 variation types and growing
  • Expandable variation type library – compatible with both CPU and GPU rendering.
  • Full Xaos support.

Huge  Library – 330 Variation Types

330 variation types are included (more to follow).

  • 82 3D variation types
  • 284 2D variation types
  • 15 direct color variation types

Variation Sets

  • easy to make, easy to switch between
  • no DLL’s
  • Source repository included – no hunting all over the Internet for Apophysis DLL’s
  • Full Variation source code included – licensed under GPL3
  • Can render files from any variation set – no need to shut down app and move DLL’s
  • Automatic switching between 2D and 3D fractals
  • Support for both 2D and 3D variation sets

Video Animation Improvements

  • Video Bitrate control – controls video image quality – much better quality videos
  • Video animation motion blur – true animation blurring
  • Workflow now oriented to rendering to Image file sequences

Rendering Engine Improvements

The rendering engine has been improved in many ways.

  • Xaos and Linked transform support in OpenCL renderer
    Xaos Variants plus Linked transform support by random fractal generator.
  • Video animation motion blur
  • Render video animations to either image file sequence or movie
  • Create movie from image file sequence utility included.
  • 2D and 3D Hack fractal rendering – 330 variation types
  • Support for Direct color variation types
  • Render state always preserved when rendering to file
  • Continuous rendering mode
  • Duo pane display of rendered images – shows incremental improvement

As always, full support for rendering on both GPUs and CPUs. Rendering on the GPU is so much faster than CPU rendering.

Random Fractal Generator Changes

  • Favorites
  • Support added for linked transform and final transform
  • 3D Camera randomization for 3D fractals

Variants Editor Changes

Many new variant categories:

  • Color Shift – Hue, Saturation, Brightness
  • Background color
  • Pre/Post Matrix – Full Control
  • Crazy Matrix -same as old Matrix variants
  • Variation Weight
  • Variation Parameters
  • Xaos
  • Mastering
  • Camera
