Title: New to this forum Post by: fractalbob on June 02, 2009, 01:19:55 AM Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to the world of fractals. I'd like some recommendations for books on fractals. My interest is in creating high resolution fractal images of at least 2000x3000 pixels in tiff or jpg format to print out, particularly the swirly ones. Maybe it's too early for me now, but if you have recommendations for software programs for Windows XP, that too would be appreciated. Thanks.

so, as with every newbie on the forum here is my personal list of special fractal programs One of the newer Fractal programs is certainly "Fractal Science Kit" which produces great images and gives you many ui elements to design you rfractal and in my point of view "ultrafractal" is still the ruler, it is a bit less intuitive ( you have to plunge your formulas by hand ) but it is the far most complete fractal program i can imagine, the program is commercial ( at a very low price ) but you can use all of its features ( beside of rendering large images ) in the trial version and if you like non standard fractals you should give "Apophysis" (free) "Incendia" (free?) and "Xenodream" (commercial) thats it for me have fun! cheers O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 :police: :alien: Title: Re: New to this forum Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on July 02, 2009, 12:48:17 AM Greetings, and welcome to this particular Forum !!! :) You can use the following link to get a list of software.
