Fractal Architect X at Mac App Store analyse

Fractal Architect X (FA X) is a FREE flame fractal creation app.

What it Makes ——————————
2D and 3D Flame fractal images of great beauty.
Great works of art can be easily created. Huge image diversity - all are unique.

FA X is inspired by the ever popular Windows Apophysis app and supports an array of features that its users will love.

But FA X is not a clone; it uses the same basic workflow.

It has the same familiar Transform editor workflow, but the free FA X app supports a large number of powerful features that Apophysis does not.

Beginners Take Note: FA X like Apophysis is a difficult app to learn. Fractal Architect 5 (FA 5) is so much easier to use. FA X + Silver subscription
is equivalent to FA 5.

FA X has a 64 bit CPU render engine.
