"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.

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.

Explore the Mandelbrot set with Baby X. Really just a test of Baby X's graphics handling capabilities. Now ported to Windows as well as Linux, using Baby X's cross-platform capabilities.

CloisterWalk can test your favorite number or will let you choose a number from a list. Many provided numbers are known irrationals, others are still uncertain. Enter the number of steps you would like to walk and click the Go button to produce a graph. If a number does not seem interesting, try switching between the square and hexagonal grids. Can you predict what is going to happen next time you click the Go button? Can you figure out why fractal patterns emerge? Can CloisterWalk be used...

Double Fractal was first created in the 90s and was the result of a passion for fractals and fractal math. Since then, it has grown including many unique fractals invented by its author. Some fractals were found by chance in 2001 when functions used for artificial intelligence were plotted as fractals. These new fractals were called JP Random Sets. The brilliant environment Lazarus allowed Double Fractal to be ported from Delphi and now Double Fractal can be run on Windows, Linux and MAC OS X...

The baby rabbit curve is made by taking the golden string (rabbit breeding distribution), turning left for a mature rabbit at an even position, right for a mature rabbit at an odd position, and straight ahead for a baby rabbit. It's built using the Baby X toolkit.

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...

Take two reference points and use them to define an x-axis. Then add in some other points to form any pattern. Use each reference point with each pattern point to form a new x-axis on which each pattern point is reiterated. Throw in a few more dazzling features (such as colors, a visualizer mode, blending, render exporting, and more) and you have a Recursion Lab.

Nodescripter is a node based scripting engine, designed mainly for artistic use in both graphic and audio forms. Nodescripter currently uses GLFW for opengl rendering and user input.

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.
