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
