There are at least fifty different programs around that can use various files from FractInt. So what does that say about the people coding their programs to use such files?? THAT FRACTINT IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST !!!
:) very interesting
Just some of the programs that have been able to use FractInt Files: ChaosPro Ultrafractal Fractal Zplot Apophysis QuaSZ Dofo-Zon Elite Cubics Dreamer FraSZle Dust Fractals Fractal Elite Medusa WManJul WinFract ManPWin
And, one very big item that should be incorporated into FractInt is the ability to produce real 3-D objects and meshes for a variety of formats: OBJ, POV, DXF, WRL, LF, etc... This is the wave of the future for most graphic applications, being able to create, render, import, export, and handle various 3-D objects.
3-D object meshes and their formats are slightly different than the output of a rendered fractal from what I understand. Though texture extruded meshes can be formed from fractal bitmaps?
There are at least 24 fractal related generators that have the capability to export their renderings to one or more of these 3-D formats. Some of the most popular are XenoDream, POV-Ray, and several programs by Terry W. Gintz (such as QuaSZ).
