Features:
It is free, as is FractInt. You may download the software and copy it, install or deinstall, or simply throw it away and it will still cost you nothing! There's no $40 shareware fee, nag screens, trial usage time limitations, or registration requirements, and there's also no advertising banners, secret data transmissions, and any need for people to crack it. Chaos Pro is Freeware, just that.
It runs in a graphically based operating environment such as Win95/98/NT/2000/XP or later.
It does not monopolize the system and a fractal may be calculated whilst one is carrying out other work.
It uses multi-threading and multi-windowing. You can therefore calculate several fractals each in its own window, all at the same time. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is based on normal windows, not dialogue boxes. So you can change a window parameter and do not have to close that window whilst proceeding with the calculation. It's really sad that there are programmers who think that opening and closing a dialogue box is the only way of inputting user information.
It can calculate 24 bit images. If the display is in high color /true color mode, then the fractals can be drawn in high/true color. If the display is in palette mode (8 bit), the user can choose to emulate 24 bit by dithering (although this will result in a loss of speed).
ChaosPro can create 3D views from 2D fractals.
ChaosPro can create animations. ChaosPro can not only create simple zoom and pan types of animations, but also create a 3D animation where, for example, the angle of the "incident" light might move around while the subject's colour gradually changes from red to green, and the observer 'zooms' more closely into the subject whilst the subject is changing in shape.
ChaosPro has an integrated formula editor and compiler, so you can create your own formulas. The formula compiler can read most of the FractInt (*.frm) formula files, so you can also use your existing formulas. The formula compiler can also handle UltraFractal formulas upto version 4 (including transformations and colourings).
Supported fractal types include:
- Escapetime: Almost all types based on iterating a point and checking whether it gets trapped by some orbit. This type is based on formulas (thus you can calculate almost all such fractals, but you have to write a formula first).
- Quaternion: Similar to Escapetime, but based on - Quaternion input numbers (3D/4D)
- Attractor: 3D objects consisting of arbitrary points.
Dynamic System (Lorenz/Roessler)
- Plasma
- IFS
- LSystem
- Layer Fractal: An artificial container into which you may put any of the other fractals as a layer. So you can compose different fractals.
