Flames3D

A 3D Fractal Flame renderer that runs on the GPU.

To move around in the interactive tools the controls use WASD for XZ movement and QE for Y movement. For rotating the camera use the number pad.

Requirements

• Python 3
• FFmpeg (animation.py and randomised.py only)
• An OpenGL 4.4 compatible graphics card (ideally with serveral GB of VRAM)

Tools

• fractalflames3d.py - Interactively render a flame
• render.py - Renders flames to an image file
• animation.py - Renders a flame animation
• animation_ui.py - Interactively render a flame animation
• randomised_animation.py - Renders a random flame animation
• randomised.py - Interactively create random flames

Todo

• Add a better flame creation tool
• Add workaround when glClearTexImage isn't present to lower the minimum OpenGL version to 4.2
• Less sketchy usage of FFmpeg
