Fractal Fr0st (Fr0st.wordpress.com)
I believe every fractal lover has already known about Apophysis. Sometimes ago I began my interest with it. But one week after I had tried Apophysis I have found Fractal Fr0st. Luckily I had only read the first few page of Apophysis tutorial. But Fractal Fr0st doesn't need any knowledge of math or tutorial manual. Just click, move, rotate and changing the parameter, then the beautiful fractal will eventually come out. Making fractal picture from Fractal Fr0st may be the same fun as you enjoy some hidden-treasure game, so it's addictive!
The followings are the fractal pictures I got during my first week with Fractal Fr0st.

Though I have only experienced about 5% of Fractal Fr0st formula, I believe it can render any fractal as we can get from Apophysis.

Note;
The middle of Fr0st is zero not O.
Fractal Fr0st has a very good saving function, you can set the same name for each fractal in a flame file.
Fractal Fr0st automatically creates bak files to prevent some data loss.
Rendering flame to jpeg is much smaller than to png.
Rendering the fractal picture with a screen resolution of 1152x864 it will give you a dead crash.

My recent rendering

Those last two are great, added wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/SoftwareGraphics

wiki needs more fractal info ; -)

Thank for adding to Wiki.

Is there any specific word for this kind of picture?

Both number 10 looks good to me.
I am spoiled so the others where odd
looking to me. But those with number 10
where cute or interesting.

Some really nice images there..

Which Puppy are you running it in?

I run Fr0st by using Wine in many Puppies, Wary, Saluki or Lucid etc.

New rendering from Fractal Frost

Hi.

Thanks for sharing the above with us.

Some more

All were rendered from 2 forms of 3 variables, Julian, linear and spherical.

Tip for Fr0st;
1. Double click the area behind the Var will toggle between 0 and 1.
2. Click the Value area and use the mouse wheel to decrease or increase the value.
I accidently found the former, but I do not know why it is not mentioned in the Fr0st website.

Hi.

Here are three images made with the Win-Version in Wine.

RSH

Is there a .pet for Fractal Fr0st?

Thank you in advance.

These fractals are from the same prototype, Julia+Spherical.

Fractal images are really fascinating.
I was wondering what factors the image, which, if I understand correctly, is repeated and you can see the same pattern when you look at the tiny parts on the edges.
Is it controlled by the power of your GPU or the pixels or what?
It's really lovely, the effects you can get from these programs, so I just have to find out more about the workings.

Thanks for the great display

---- You're correct.
Is it controlled by the power of your GPU or the pixels or what?
---- Mostly it's controlled by the form, filter, color gradient, weight etc., but sometimes OS can influence the output too. Xaos runs in Wine and Window can be different.

---- You're welcome to the fractal world.

This is one of my most favorite fractal form. Dozen of beautiful fractals can be produced without too much effort.
They all were rendered with three forms; Julia, Spiral+Blur, Linear.
Only the last one doesn't have Blur.
