Fractal Art 3 - Frax

Frax is another Fractal Art Generator totally addictive and quite intuitive for the IPhone and IPad. I purchased the IPad version Frax HD and then upgraded for a few pounds to the Pro version .. it was well worth it with loads of parameters to play with.

It's totally interactive using the device's touch screen to full advantage. You pinch to zoom out and spread to zoom in. You can select anywhere on the Mandlebrot set and stick with that or get the equivalent Julia set for the same location.

Here is a quote from the site:

"Frax raises the fractal in 3D height, uses complex color gradients to smoothly tint and shade them, adds two light sources for glossy reflections and infinitely scaleable chaotic textures - all in all using almost 100 parameters and controls!

It creates images that are quite unlike anything you have seen before!

Intricate patterns, spirals, valleys, supersmooth or wildly chaotic, metallic sheen or pearly white, subtle shades, stark monochrome or screaming superglossy, with scintillating color animated in realtime, as do both lights - and all that while you pan, rotate, zoom and tilt!

This multi-touch immediacy is only half of Frax, the other side is the sheer aesthetic appeal of the static high resolution images!

Render into your photo library or, via IAP in the Frax Cloud, 
create up to 50 megapixel posters!"

But make no mistake: this is not a mere little toy.


You are visualizing the nature of Nature…
It is the sheer Beauty of Mathematics."
