BOOLE BOOLE is a system that converts a CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) model into B-rep (Boundary Representation) form. It is designed to work on curved solid primitives like cylinders, tori, spheres, generalized prisms etc., as well as polygonal solids. BOOLE performs the set operations union, intersection, and difference on solids.

Evolvotron Evolvotron is an interactive "generative art" application for Linux to evolve images/textures/patterns/animations through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. (This process is also often referred to as "evolutionary art" or "genetic art".) If you like lava lamps, and still think the Mandelbrot set is cool, this could be the software for you. EyeFract EyeFract generates Julia and Mandelbrot sets. The user has control over most parameters related to creating either kind of fractal.

OpenGL-rendered 3D view of the fractals is also supported. Read more Gfract Gfract is a GTK-based fractal program that currently implements the standard Mandelbrot and Julia sets. It features infinite image size with infinite anti-aliasing if you have the memory for it, Julia instant preview mode, user-specified coloring algorithms and PNG support. For palette files it uses the same format as Fractint does, except that it supports arbitraly large palettes. gkII gkII - Mandelbrot Munger is yet another Mandelbrot fractal image generator. But, instead of just being plain happy with the mandelbrot calculations it does some more calculations developed with the artistic eye in mind. These calculations act like a mask, revealing, concealing, and augementing the original M-Set. glfract glfract loads fractal {Mandelbrot, Julia} sets from file as specified by David Eyerman's Eyefract v0.56-1 and displays them in 3D space with OpenGL/Glut. gmandel Gmandel is a program for exploring intricate and beautiful details of the Mandelbrot set, the classic fractal image. It begins with the common graphic of the mandelbrot set, from which you can select portions with click-and-drag for enhancement. You can set the number of colors per iteration, and the iteration limit. Gnofract 4D Gnofract 4D is a program which allows you to create beautiful mathematically-based images called fractals. What sets it apart from other fractal programs (and makes it "4D") is the way that it treats the Mandelbrot and Julia sets as different views of the same four-dimensional fractal object. This allows you to create images which are a cross between the two sets and explore their inter-relationships. Read more Gnomechaos Gnomechaos is a simple fractal program which renders images like Chaossope. It renders fractals including flames, render solid images and flames in anaglyph mode. IEFMIRASHOW IEFMIRASHOW displays a selection of dust-type mira fractals one after the other in color, rather like a slideshow. jrMandel jrMandel is a command line, parallel Mandelbrot set fractal renderer. It is specially designed to render high-resolution fractal images taking advantage of parallel processing, either by using multiple threads of execution (and thus suitable to run on multi-core processors) or by using a Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) to distribute the tasks among the nodes of a computer cluster. jrMandel can also render fractals without using any parallelism, in order to compare the efficiency between parallel and non-parallel runs. KFourier Fourier is a X11 / KDE based image processing program that use the Fourier transform to use multiple filters on an image, it works on Linux, BSD, and other unices. kmandel An easy to use and powerful fractal generator. Koch Curve Generator A simple Koch curve generator written in C++, featuring interactive point editing. L-system Explorer L-system Explorer is a program used for viewing and creating L-system fractals. It has over 500 builtin L-systems, with the ability to create and save your oen L-systems. All Fractint L-system commands are supported (except the three that deal with color). Landscape Landscape is a program that creates and renders fractal landscapes, with an interactive OpenGL preview of the final image. LPLANTS LPLANTS is a Lindenmayer generator. You can generate fractals and beautiful plants with it. It is written in C. Output of raw-data, postscript (ps) and povray (pov) is possible. Magic Garden Magic Garden is an Artificial Plants Laboratory. Create L-System plants, modify them in real time, play in the world of fractals, just have fun. Mandelbrot Infinity A package is for creating huge mandelbrot sets for various purposes. mdz mdz (Mandelbrot Deep Zoom) is a Mandelbrot set image generator focused on exploration into really deep areas of the Mandelbrot set, and without fanciful distractions. MegaPov A version of POV-Ray that features various custom and unofficial patches. It features clothray cloth simulation system, a Sim-POV mechanics simulation system, and film exposure simulation. PFractL PFractL is a parser that understands a small set of grammar symbols which can be used to generate self similar fractals. It's written in python and uses the Tk widget set (Tkinter). QTPov Editor QTPov Editor is a Povray SDL editor for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Major features include: Syntax coloration, brackets highlight, automatic / manual tabulation system, completion system (with both keywords and declarations/macros), declarations / macros listing, included files parsing, ini editor, ini profile assistant, and scene rendering via .ini files. Quat Quat is for the calculation of genuine three dimensional fractals, like those you can see in the Artist Forum, the Fractal Gallery or at the Sculptures. These fractals can be cut open to explore their interior. For this purpose you can define intersection planes, whose positions can be adjusted freely. Symmetry in Chaos Symmetry in Chaos calculates fractals using a method first described in the book "Symmetry in Chaos" by Michael Field and Martin Golubitsky. visprint Visprint makes fractal fingerprint png images based on the contents of any file. The image will be different for almost every file with even slightly different contents. Visprint uses the IFS fractal generation process, pioneered by Michael Barnsley. It is a way to create images which are self-similar to infinite depths. Voidoria Voidoria is a Fractal Flame rendering and animation program that is currently under heavy development. wmMand wmMand is a Window Maker dockapp that allows you to browse or explore the Mandelbrot fractal. Although designed for Window Maker, it also works fine with most other window managers. XaoS XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer. It displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals) and allows you zoom smoothly into the fractal. Various coloring modes are provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and on-the-fly plane switching is provided. Read more XFracky XFracky is a small multithreaded Tcl/Tk 8.0 based Linux-application for rendering fractals (2d, 3d and animations) using methods such as borderscanning and iteration tracking. New fractals can be added as plugins. There is a demo-mode which continuously renders any of a set of preconfigured fractals. It has support for 8/16/24/32 bit displays. Xfractint Xfractint allows the generation of Mandelbrot, Julia, IFS, and many more fractals in 2D and 3D, including those you design yourself. Read more Xmountains A fractal terrain generator.
