FractalScapes is a unique fractal app. It can be incredibly powerful but beware, it does not make it any easier to understand the concept of graphical recursion which is what makes the fractals fractal! FractalScapes does allow you to create original complex designs if you have what it takes.
FractalScapes helps you create beautiful, interesting, geometric and plant like fractals. You can use the provided samples or start with someone else's fractal shared with FractalCloud.
FractalScapes is the only iOS fractal application which uses the touch interface to let you drag and drop rules for creating new fractals. Please see our video for an example of using your finger to rearrange the fractal rules and create totally new fractals with ease.
Education:
FractalScapes is an excellent educational tool. The fractal creation is interactive letting students see the effects of different rule positions immediately. The playback feature lets them see the creation of the fractal step by step. The playback is interactive so if there is an area of the fractal they don't understand, they can slide back and forth through that area to see what is going on. In advanced mode rules can be selectively excluded allowing one to see the impact of a set of rules without deleting and re-adding them.
Sharing:
* export as a PNG with a transparent background then post to sharing sites or import into a drawing package and create a forest.
FractalScapes takes inspiration from the book, "The Science of Fractal Images" by Heinz-Otto Peitgen & Dietmar Saupe, first printing, 1988, Springer Verlang. In particular, Appendix C "A unified approach to fractal curves and plants."
