Fascinating endless worlds to explore (for free) ...
Computer software that can generate fractals has existed since the mid-1980s. - An infinite complex fractal can easily be generated by a simple algorithm.
Instead of learning art, creating your own fractals is more like taking pictures while exploring strange new worlds - you change the parameters and zoom in or out until you find something you like. Most fractals have many different parameters that can be changed, as well as many different and interesting areas for detection. Many fractals are fundamentally infinite, and although computer software puts some kind of limit on this infinity, there are still a huge number of possible fractal images to explore, as well as many subtle and dramatic variations.
Currently there are a lot of fractal software to choose from - some great fractal software is completely free. Use the link below to get information about the two most popular freeware free fractal software applications that you can download today and start exploring amazing fractals yourself.
Once you find a fractal image that you like, you can display it in any resolution (some software has limited resolution options, some of the free ones can make large high-resolution images if you want). Then you can share it, use it as a screen saver or background, or print it in any way. There are currently several easy-to-use print-on-demand online services that will print your fractal image onto a wide range of products, from posters, postcards and T-shirts to skateboards, without any installation costs.
Some of the free fractal programs can even be used to create stunning video sequences of evolving fractal forms. All that is required is an understanding of some basic high school mathematics and some Excel skills (or similar software) and some patience! The results can be amazingly beautiful. Some people love deep scaling, but personally I prefer Julia’s developing fractal animation, which I find stunningly beautiful.
