Chaotica

Developer(s)	Glare Technologies

Stable release	1.5.8 / August 2015; 9 years ago (2015-08)

Operating system	Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows
Type	Fractal / Graphics
License	Proprietary commercial software
Website	www.chaoticafractals.com

Chaotica is a commercial fractal art editor and renderer extending flam3 and Apophysis's functionality. There is also a free version with limited render resolution and animation length.

History

Chaotica began as a personal project of Thomas E. Ludwig (lycium) in the deviantArt fractal community in 2010, but has since been handed over to Glare Technologies, the developers of Indigo Renderer.

Features

Chaotica implements a generalized iterated function system and features a modern rendering engine based on advanced algorithms not found in open-source IFS implementations. It has an animation editor, selective randomization of parameters, and imaging controls such as different anti-aliasing modes and RGB-channel response curves.

Chaotica's highlighted features are:

GPU rendering and multi-GPU support, using OpenCL (Chaotica 2).
Animation support.
Modern CPU rendering engine..
Video encoding in H.264 or HEVC (in Chaotica 2).
Apophysis (software) / Flam3 compatibility.
Real-time imaging controls and HDR color curves in Chaotica help with quick rendering of animation frames.
