Fractal Software

Fractal Forge: one of the first programs I used to design fractal quilts. Created by Uberto Barbini, it is freeware and very simple to use.

Fractint: have given up learning this one, it is a DOS program so being a post-DOS computer user it doesn't come naturally. Freeware.

The Fractal Science Kit
Provides an interactive programming environment with windows for viewing the fractal image, modifying the properties that define the fractal, examining the data behind the fractal, and viewing/editing the programs, macros (inline functions/methods), and color gradients, used by the Fractal Science Kit to produce the final image.

The Mandelbrot Fractal Generator: allows you to explore the beautiful fractals of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Created by a fellow countryman Dan Freeland. Freeware.

Ultra Fractal: tried out the demo and liked what I was playing around with. Eventually I cracked and bought the software. Haven't looked back since. There is an excellent tutorial written by Janet Parke included with the download.
