History

Chaotica began as a personal project of Thomas Ludwig 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 rendering engine based on advanced algorithms not found in open-source IFS implementations.[2] It has an animation editor, selective randomization of parameters, and imaging controls such as different anti-aliasing modes and RGB-channel response curves. Documentation is poor and in some cases is inconsistent with what appears on ones local copy of the program ( applies to the free windows 64 bit version, v 1.5.8), in particular it appears there is not a way to add or edit iterators in the world editor, ( It is not known if this restriction applies to the commercial version, however youtube posts seem to show this functionality is present in the coppies they have used for tutorial or reviews, althouth they rarely stae if they are using the free or paid version or even whether they are using the windows or Mac version)
