"Generative art" software which evolves images/textures/patterns through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. If you like lava lamps, and still think the Mandelbrot set is cool, this could be the software for you.

Apophysis AV is an improved and modern version of the famous fractal flame editor Apophysis. This application combines the best options of previous branches (e.g. 3D- or 64-bit support and favourite variations), some of which were lost in the development process, and has multiple bugfixes. Besides, Apophysis AV has a lot of new features.

Fraqtive is an open source, multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms supporting SSE2 and multi-core processors. It generates high quality anti-aliased images and renders 3D scenes using OpenGL. It allows real-time navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.

Interactive application to generate and view random fractal planets and terrain with oceans, mountains, icecaps and rivers, then export them to POV-Ray format or Blender. Written in C++ using Qt and OpenGL.

Biomorphs are a way of explaining evolution invented by Richard Dawkins. The shapes are controlled by a small set of genes, which give colour, segment length, size, and degree of recursion. By changing a gene by a small amount, a small difference is made in neighbours. Many fascinating shapes can be found, and you can often home in on a desired shape by selecting relatives that are closer to your goal. The program uses the Baby X toolkit.

Perlin noise is a form of noise with local coherence. It's used in creating all kinds of graphics, from wood efffects to marble. The editor lets you create an image with Perlin noise interactively, and save it as a gif. You can change the noise parameters, and you can edit the palette, either loading it from a gif, or using the palette editor (right click to open the color picker, left click to move the two selection points about). There's also a handy tool for tuning the palette as the...

Tux's Turtle is a drawing environment for children. It uses geometrically-based "turtle graphics" (well known from Logo) but is completely immediate and programmed using single keypresses (like Delta Drawing). No knowledge of the editor is necessary.
