Orca IM x64

Orca IM x64 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.

Orca IM runs only on 64-bit Windows.

Orca IM is an interactive program that is optimized to generate hi-res 2-D and 3-D fractal images. Orca IM currently supports quaternion, hypercomplex, complexified quaternion, Juliat and Mandelbulb Sine/Cosine renderings of the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets.

Features of Orca IM:

• Getting Started Tutorial
• Julius Ruis maps for easy navigating of Julia or Mandelbrot fractals
• Choice of 441, 25 or one image to a draw window
• 22 generalized dual-function formulas (2500+ variations)
• Mixed quad math option for each formula
• 4 types of random fractals:
• 2-D Julia
• Stalks (Orbit Traps)
• Bubbles
• 3-D Julia
• 25 Orbit-trap methods
• 3-D Orbit-trap and bubble textures
• User-defined bailout option
• 3D object exports:
• Wavefront object format [OBJ]
• Stereolithography [STL]
• Triangle mesh [POV]
• Smooth Triangle mesh [POV]
• Mesh simplification for smaller OBJ and POV export files
• Virtual reality [WRL]
• AutoCad [DXF]
• Polygon Format [PLY]
• Perlin noise generator for enhanced textures
• Adjustable lighting model with Phong highlights
• Batch mode for unattended image creation
• Integrated video routines allow easy morphing and rotating between key frames
• Frame buffer format to edit, load and save movie templates [OCV]
• Pilot for easy panning, zooming and rotating
• Texture file format [QTX] to build libraries of custom surface renderings
• Separate user-defined folders for file types like palettes, textures, objects and drawings
• Context help for menu commands and dialog windows as well as a complete list of topics in the main Windows help [hlp] file
• PDF (printable) Manual

A trial version of Orca IM x64 is available. This contains most of the features of the full version, except that the image size is limited to 320X320 and the precision of 3D object exports is fixed at 1000 steps. The trial version is for evaluation purposes only. Click here for more info.
