Boring to some, immensly entertaining to others, fractal investigation seems to have fallen out of favour with the kids these days: I aim to change that. GET THE PREBUILT WINDOWS VERSION HERE: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wallfart/files/setupWallFArt.exe/download

FractalNow provides users with tools to generate pictures of various types of fractals quickly and easily. It is made of both a command line tool, FractalNow, and a graphical tool, QFractalNow. The graphical tool, based on Qt library, allows users to explore fractals intuitively and generate pictures. Both tools are entirely multi-threaded and implement advanced algorithms and heuristics that make computation very fast compared to most existing free fractal generators.

Knot allows visualisation of 3D Celtic Knots. The knot models can also be exported for loading into 3D modelling applications or 3D printing.

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...

OpenGL/SDL, cross compatible, real-time 3D/4D fractal viewer and generator.

Explore procedural worlds on your GPU. Worlds are defined by GLSL programs that map XYZ coordinates to the distance to the nearest surface. Design your own worlds, modify parameters in realtime and render hires videos of your recorded journey.

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.
