Excellent art app

Amazing! Just one request...

This app is so cool! I love the flexibility, and the options. So unique and awesome! However, I would love an option to export the fractal as a 3d vector, so I could take into other programs and edit it from there. Aside from this one little request, everything about this app is perfect!

Amazing

Wow, what a truly beautiful app. With so much customization and simple design it's easy to get lost in the creation of these shapes! I love messing with the custom environments

Beautiful!

I just love this application. Imagine you have a cube. Now, line each of the 6 inside surfaces of the cube with images of your choice. Then, create a reflective fractal in the middle of the cube. Now, imagine that the walls of the cube are translucent and you have great lighting from the outside. Have the cube all set up? Want to set the constants which control the shape of the cube? Start with all four constants set to 0.0, this will create a sphere shaped fractal. Now, pick your view point into the cube. Let's say you poked a pin hole in the top of the cube and peeked in from outside. What would you see? You would see the the sphere reflecting the top image and all four side images. These would be a mirror image of the images on the walls. You would also see the the part of the bottom image that the sphere was not obscuring. Want a different view? Poke a pin hole into the cube somewhere else. In the app, instead of poking pinholes, you change your view point with a single finger drag across the screen. What the all white image you created to be on the bottom or the sphere? Roll the sphere over top of the white image. Use the two-finger pinch to zoom in and out. You save the image to your camera roll by taking a screen shot. Press the power button and the home button at the same time. Some notes: I prefer the uncomplicated fractals created by setting the Accuracy slider to a value of 2. The fractal is then a less complex shape that reflects the cube walls nicely. This version of the app has a problem in that the rendering is restarted automatically whenever you tilt the orientation of the iOS device and also when you receive an alert message. So, if you are using Instagram and are extremely popular, you may want to disable notifications until you are done rendering. I also suggest that you turn off Antialiasing until you have the image setup the way you want it for your final render before taking the screen shot.

There is no save or email

A huge problem with this otherwise really impressive app is that you cannot save the wonderful pictures you create or email them. I would give this 5 stars otherwise. Also , suggest that the stereo mode include either/both cross-eye or divergent so that I don't need glasses
