Apophysis is a free, open source fractal flame editor and renderer for Microsoft Windows. It was created by Mark Townsend and has since been improved and updated by Peter Sdobnov, Piotr Borys, and Ronald Hordijk (the SourceForge project developers). It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Apophysis has many features for editing fractal flames, including an editor which allow one to directly edit the transforms that comprise the fractal flame, a mutations window, which applies random edits to the triangles, an adjust window, which allows the adjustment of coloring and location of the image, and even a scripting language with direct access to most of the components of the fractal, which allows for things like the animations seen in Electric Sheep. Users can export fractal flames to other fractal flame rendering programs, such as flam3.
Recently, Apophysis has begun gaining favor among the community of deviantART. Apophysis, and competing fractal product UltraFractal, are the most popular fractal software used by fractal artists on deviantART.
