Fractal Architect 4 is the leading Mac Flame Fractal Image and Video Animation Editor
What it Makes ——————————
2D and 3D Flame fractal images of great beauty, endless unique textures, video animations.
Great works of art can be easily created. Huge image diversity - all are unique.
Flowing video animations can be easily made that can be incorporated into your own movies or used as-is.
This is our largest version to-date, with so many new features.
