Posted on by

last update : august 2010

Filmer is a front-end program for Fractint that generates amazing fractal animation. Fractint is a program for calculating still fractal images (you need Fractint installed to use Filmer). Filmer uses Fractint parameter (.par) files to specify the coordinates and other parameters of a fractal. It then calculates the intermediate frames and calls Fractint to make a continuous animation. Filmer also has many options for pallete rotation and generation.

Filmer has been developed by Julian Haight.

The Persistence of Vision (POV) Raytracer is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics. It is available in official versions for Windows, Mac OS/Mac OS X and i86 Linux. The source code is available for those wanting to do their own ports.

About 20 years ago, I used POV on my Atari Computer to render my first 3D scenes.

A wireframe modeller (Moray) for POV is available at the Official Moray Homepage.
