Nice image. I love the way Fracton renders the colors. It would be nice to have a Linux version of it!


Thanks. You can anti-alias FractInt images too by drawing them larger and shrinking them in an external image manipulation program. Hal Lane does this on his web site. Converting Fracton to Linux would be very difficult. It is 30,000 lines of Objective C code now. A lot of the code interacts with the user interface and that is totally Mac centric.

The image was 5x5 anti-aliased which means it took 25 times as long to draw as a non-antialiased one. I ran it on my old 2 core PowerPC Mac that I use for long rendering jobs. It took about a week on that machine.
