- apophysis-j
- a port in java of the famous fractal flame editor apophysis for Windows. It is based on the version 2.07 beta of apophysis. It should run on any machine equipped with a decent java environment (1.4 or higher) and bring the capabilities of this wonderful program to mac and linux users at last.
- Due to the way memory is allocated by an executable jar, only images of limited size can be rendered internally if the program if started by double-clicking the icon. You have to use the command line to control the memory usage. Also, like the Windows version, apophysis-j can rely on the standalone flam3 renderer to produce final images.

- Qosmic
- graphical interface for creating, editing, and rendering flam3 fractal images. The electricsheep screen saver has been gaining popularity, and Qosmic was developed to provide a Qt interface for people interested in creating and contributing sheep.

- Some Lua example scripts for use in Qosmic
- endlos
- A platform independent, multi-threaded fractal generator.
- features:
- * Platform independend: runs on any Java virtual machine (1.5 or later; 1.6 up to twice as fast!)
- * Multithreaded: uses any amount of threads for faster calculation on computers with multiple cores/CPUs.
- * Unlimited precision: use any amount of decimal digits for endless zooms (optimized 64 bit precision).
- * Coloring: smooth interpolation; random color maps; color functions; over 1600 color maps available.
- * Draw modes: choose between draw modes to see pixel, line, block or only full image result.
- * Fast zooming: get an instant preview of the location you're zooming into.
- * Multi Fractals: calculate as many fractals as you like at the same time.
- * Usage slider: set percentage of processor usage for fine grained system load (0% = pause).
- * XML Fractal Settings: save & load your fractal settings.
- * Flexible Formulas: change parameters of formulas to create totaly new images.
- * Image formats: any file format supported by the Java virtual machine (PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.).
- * Post processing: add effects to the final image (blur, emboss, spin, etc.).
- * Printing: print your image directly from endlos.
- * MIDI songs: yup, endlos plays MIDI files! E.g. these: Video Game Music Archive.
- * Open Source: GNU General Public License (GPL).

- Kandid
- Kandid is a system to evolve graphics. Graphics, in Kandid,
is not drawn by hand. Instead new forms can be found using
genetic algorithms.
- To achieve this aim Kandid simulates evolution using
sexual reproduction and populations. But there is no
fitness function in side the program. Only the user can
decide what images are interesting.
- To simulate evolution Kandid uses crossing over, mutation,
populations and has a gene data base. Image calculation
is based on Iterated Function Systems (IFS), Linear Cellular
Automata (LCA), Voroni diagrams, Lindenmayer systems and
Lisp like expressions

- 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.

- pixelize
- a program that will use many scaled down images to
try to duplicate, as closely as possible, another image.
Pixelize works by splitting up the image you want rendered (or
duplicated) into a grid of small rectangular areas. Each area
is analyzed, and replaced with an image chosen from a large
database of images. Pixelize tries to pick images that best
matches each area - Note that in order to use Pixelize to render an image, you will have to run make_db on the commandline to create the database of images that Pixelize requires.
- electricsheep
- a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.
- Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool.
- flam3
- Fractal Flames are algorithmically generated images and animations. The software was originally written in 1992 and released as open source, aka free software. Since then it has developed a lot. It has been incorporated into many graphics programs and ported to most operating systems. The shape of each image is specified by a long string of numbers - a genetic code of sorts.
