Quantum Zplot

Quantum Zplot 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.

Quantum Zplot runs only on 64-bit Windows.

Quantum Zplot graphs 2-D and 3-D slices of formulas based on multi-dimensional fractal spaces. Quantum currently supports quaternion, hypernion, complexified quaternion, cubic Mandelbrot, octonion,
loxodromic (Thomas Kromer), mandalabeth (Elizabeth R. Chen), mandelbulb, mandelbox, and
Kaleidoscope (escape-time IFS, Menger Sponge and polyhedral Sierpinski) formulas plus hybrid
combinations of all fractal types in renderings of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets.

A random image generator, batchmode and integrated video routines make the program easy for beginners and a powerful complement to advanced fractal artists.
