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.[citation needed]
History
[edit]Chaotica began as a personal project of Thomas E. Ludwig (lycium) in the deviantArt fractal community in 2010,[1] but has since been handed over to Glare Technologies, the developers of Indigo Renderer.
Features
[edit]Chaotica implements a generalized iterated function system and features a modern[as of?] rendering engine based on advanced algorithms not found in open-source IFS implementations.[citation needed] 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 [2] are:
- GPU rendering and multi-GPU support, using OpenCL (Chaotica 2).
- Animation support.
- Modern CPU rendering engine.[further explanation needed].
- Video encoding in H.264 or HEVC (in Chaotica 2).
- Apophysis (software) / Flam3 compatibility[clarification needed].
- Real-time imaging controls and HDR color curves in Chaotica help with quick rendering of animation frames.[quantify]
