History

Chaotica began as a personal project of Thomas E. Ludwig (lycium) in the deviantArt fractal community in 2010, [1] but has since been handed over to Glare Technologies, the developers of Indigo Renderer.

Features

Chaotica implements a generalized iterated function system and features a modern[ as of? ] rendering engine based on advanced algorithms not found in open-source IFS implementations.[ citation needed ] It has an animation editor, selective randomization of parameters, and imaging controls such as different anti-aliasing modes and RGB-channel response curves.

Chaotica's highlighted features [2] are:

  1. GPU rendering and multi-GPU support, using OpenCL (Chaotica 2).
  2. Animation support.
  3. Modern CPU rendering engine.[ further explanation needed ].
  4. Video encoding in H.264 or HEVC (in Chaotica 2).
  5. Apophysis (software) / Flam3 compatibility[ clarification needed ].
  6. Real-time imaging controls and HDR color curves in Chaotica help with quick rendering of animation frames.[ quantify ]
