| PackageDescription | Mandelbulber is an experimental application that helps to make rendering 3D
Mandelbrot fractals much more accessible. A few of the supported 3D fractals:
Mandelbulb, Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, Quaternion,
Trigonometric, Hypercomplex, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS). All of these
can be combined into infinite variations with the ability to hybridize
different formulas together.
** FEATURES **
* GUI created in the GTK+ 2 environment.
* Multi-core rendering.
* 3D Navigator with tools to see how close the camera is to the fractal
surface.
* Complex 3D shading: hard shadows, 3 modes of ambient occlusion, depth of
field, reflections, fog, glow, primitive objects, and water.
* Lights can be manually or randomly placed. Volumetric lighting available.
* Camera animation: Keyframe and mouse controlled flight.
* Keyframe animation of all parameters.
* Camera lenses: three-point projection, fisheye, and equirectangular
projection.
* Distance estimation algorithm to reduce render times and artifacts of ray
marching.
* Low memory mode to render images larger than 16,000 x 16,000 pixels.
* OpenCL support. |
