Fractal To Desktop allows you to render Fractals live onto your desktop. The Fractal Foundation describes Fractals as "never-ending patterns that are infinitely complex. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of chaos." Just watch the video above to get a sense of the beauty of Fractals.
Performance
The video you saw above took 6 months on 12 cores running 24/7 to render. The algorithms in the video shown are simply too slow for live rendering. Fractal To Desktop can render live render fractals using only one core, albeit with a much slower zoom speed. It does this with the introduction of new math utilizing Perturbation Theory and Series Approximation making rendering up to 100,000x times faster!Key Features
- Create Custom Gradients
- Zooms to 2^1024. That's the equivalent of zooming from the size of the universe down to an atom 8.5 times!
- Zooms up to 100,000x faster than normal rendering methods
- Automatically pause the renderer when you have a fullscreen application (like another game) open
- Automatically pauses on battery
- Includes an algorithm that generates random interesting points to zoom to. When you use Fractal To Desktop, you're looking at part of the Mandelbrot Set that nobody has even seen before!
- Unlike many other Fractal programs, you don't have to worry about the math at all, just sit back and enjoy the Fractals.

When I first got this I was thinking that since its cheap, I would just get it and get bored of it like I do with a lot of stuff on steam. Instead, for the past couple months since I bought this, my understanding of my existence in the universe has expanded and I see that beauty is inextricably linked to it. 5 stars.
Before you buy its important to understand that this is a application that generates desktop backgrounds. I didnt understand that when I first bought this.
Worked briefly, and now just crashes if I try and start it. It's way too late to request a refund. Very disappointed, because it's exactly what I was looking for and I really wanted to use it.
There's quite a lot to like in this tool. Its algorithms are very quick and efficient, it includes a very simple-to-use gradient builder, and it allows a lot of control over performance options such as resolution, zoom and refresh rates, and power consumption modifiers.
There are a few more features that would be nice to see for a more complete experience, things like:
The lack of these elements is NOT the reason why I recommend against purchasing this software, though. The only reasons why I am not recommending it is because of its difficulty of use coupled with its frequency of failure. The menu is not very friendly, with a lot of obscure settings that you kind of just have to try it and see the effect before you'll understand exactly what/how it controls. This alone would not warrant a thumbs-down from me, it is only a minor annoyance. Or at least it would be, were it not for the more crippling issue in this tool, the fact that the majority of times you start a new zoom it just won't work. The software recommends waiting 15 minutes to be sure that it has failed and then you just have to try again, likely for that attempt to fail as well. I've even given it as long as an hour on VERY lightweight settings, just to be sure I was giving it a fair chance before resetting. Not only this, but even if you do manage to get a successful start on your zoom, the program will silently crash after 20 minutes or so and has to be restarted once you notice the zoom has frozen.
The algorithms at the core of this are very good and when it works the display is truly beautiful. There is an excellent tool hiding inside of this program, and I am very hopeful to change this review to a strong recommendation just as soon as some improvements and fixes get implemented.
