benoît M vs Ink Marbling

benoît M is a visual exploration of the Mandelbrot set — one of the most iconic and fascinating shapes in mathematics. Named in homage to Benoît Mandelbrot, who discovered this fractal-set named after him in 1979. The mathematician introduced the world to fractal geometry. This app lets you dive into a universe created from one deceptively simple formula: repeat z² + c, again and again. From that small rule emerge endless spirals, islands, valleys, coastlines, and self-similar structures that continue to reveal new detail as you zoom deeper. With real-time Metal rendering, benoît M turns fractal exploration into a smooth, visual experience. Pinch to zoom, pan to move, and double-tap to dive into interesting regions. Switch between classic Mandelbrot rendering and a beautiful pseudo-3D relief mode that gives the fractal a sculptural, almost metallic depth. Customize the look with image gradients, procedural palettes, inverted or flipped color styles, and adjustable iteration quality. When you find a scene worth keeping, export it as a square high-resolution PNG — up to 8K — directly to your Photo Library. Features: - Explore the Mandelbrot set interactively - Smooth Metal-based rendering - Classic Mandelbrot and pseudo-3D relief modes - Image-based and procedural color gradients - Adjustable iteration depth - Pinch, pan, and double-tap navigation - High-resolution PNG export: 2K and 8K - Saved app state, so you continue where you left off A compact tribute to Benoît Mandelbrot and the beauty of fractal geometry Whether you are fascinated by mathematics, generative art, abstract visuals, or simply beautiful patterns, benoît M invites you to explore infinity — one zoom at a time.

Description: Ink Marbling brings the ancient Japanese art of suminagashi (floating ink) to your iOS device. Create stunning marbled patterns by interacting with a digital canvas, simulating the delicate movements of ink on water. Whether you're an artist, a hobbyist, or just looking for a relaxing creative outlet, SuminagashiPainting lets you design unique patterns and save them as digital art. * Note that the first time you open the app after download the initial screen may remain for several seconds as the app loads key components. * Features: Free Flowing Creativity: Simulate the natural flow of ink on water with taps, drags, and swirls on the canvas. Multiple Interaction Modes: Single Tap: Drop ink of one color to create concentric ripples. Double Tap: Add secondary colors for dynamic designs. Tap and Drag: Draw flowing lines of ink using a simulated rake with one tine. Customizable Tools (select the "Gear" icon on the upper-left of the screen): Adjust brush sizes to control the impact of ink drops. Choose from a palette of vibrant colors or create your own. Choose how to initialize your canvas. Dynamic Effects: Watch as blobs and lines interact to produce beautiful marbled patterns. Experiment with adjustable ink viscosities and flow velocities. Save and Share: Export your creations as high-resolution images to your Photos library. Share your designs directly to social media or with friends. COMING SOON: Ad-Free Premium Version: Unlock an ad-free experience and exclusive brushes, effects, and colors with the premium upgrade.
