Montezuma

Montezuma was written to take advantage of the new generation of 64-bit computers now on the market. Export models can be up to 10 million faces or more, unsimplified, limited only by the amount of system memory available.

Montezuma runs only on 64-bit Windows.

Montezuma graphs 3-D slices of formulas based on multi-dimensional fractal spaces. Montezuma currently supports quaternion, hypernion, complexified quaternion, mandelbulb and mandelbox renderings of the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets.

A random image generator, batch mode and integrated video routines make the programeasy for beginners and a powerful complement to advanced fractal artists.
