Crocus x64 (Indra's Dreams)

Crocus x64 was rewritten to take advantage of the new generation of 64-bit computers now on the market. Caveats: the 64 bit model has a different structure alignment and larger pointer size, so data files (.cs) produced with the 32 bit model are incompatible with this version. There is, however, a transfer routine in the latest 32 bit version of Crocus that allows most of the parameters in older .cs files to be converted to a format Crocus x64 can load. Crocus x64 runs only on 64-bit Windows.

Crocus x64 uses the OpenGL library to set up a simple 3D scene using data files from Swirlique, Fractal Lab, lsystems, built-in primitives and Wavefront objects as the main foreground objects.

Features of Crocus x64:

Getting Started Tutorial
Import Swirlique data files [DFS] and convert them to 3D objects using the built-in primitives (spheres and cylinders, etc) or Wavefront objects
Import Fractal Lab data files [FRL] and convert them to 3D objects using the built-in primitives (spheres and cylinders, etc) or Wavefront objects
Import objects [OBJ] or lsystem [LS] files from other programs such as QuaSZ, Quetzal and Fractal Zplot.
Stereolithography [STL] output for 3D printers
Export Kleinian sets, lsystems and fractals to other programs in [OBJ], POV] and [DXF] formats
Mesh simplification and POV smoothing for smaller export files
You can use the figure Pilot to rotate and move objects around, and the integrated video routines will track each movement to create an AVI video file.
Additions to the OpenGL library include routines for including reflections and planar shadows in the scene, for enhanced realism.
Choice of built-in textures or bitmap [BMP, JPEG, PNG] texturing
Context help for menu commands and dialog windows
