Fractal3D
Free AppAbout Fractal3D
App for zooming into several types of fractals in 2D, and 3D. The app allows you to first zoom into the fractal in 2D, and then render a 3D image based on your 2D image. You can generate some nice landscapes, and weird alien looking worlds in the 3D viewer, as well as explore fractals in 2D.
Some features listed here (not all... there are too many):
-change basic parameters of Mandelbrot, Julia set, Burning ship, and Burning ship Julia set fractals
-with a few settings, some unique fractals can be derived from the basic ones
-rotate, move, zoom into 3D fractal
-draw 3D fractal using points, circles, rectangles, filled polys, or wire frame
-save screenshots
-save/load fractal configurations (over 20 configs already built in, that you can load, and start modifying)
-app optimized to run faster on quad cores by utilizing several cores simultaneously for calculation
I wrote the app because I always loved fractals, and the images you can create with them. It's not very hard to use this app, but a word of caution: I did not use the standard Google's GUI, (created my own) so it may take a bit of getting used to.
Hope you enjoy the app... For some more screenshots, and instructions on using the app, visit:

Unconventional magnifying lense type UI could be useful but app crashes (out of memory) after second launch, or is unresponsive to the touch, resulting in the feeling of tapping a black screen and nothing happening. Was unable to see anything but the outline of a Mandelbrot, 2d, using Google Nexus 6P. Recommendation to dev is to eliminate the pop-up dialog, replacing it with a glowing outline rectangle when user clicks on wrong area. Make pension UI run on separate thread from fractal renderer to avoid the perceived app hang when user traps while app is calculating. Make the "buttons" larger. Make the zoomed view on right hand side twice as large, and perhaps opaque with a grey background to ensure visibility when overdrawing a bright fractal behind it.

This takes a little investment of time and patience to figure out the interface but it is worth it!

The Application starts rendering and calculating, whereever i click and closes down at around 80% every time, sometimes it reaches the canvas part, but crashes then

Yes menu box to small.

The menu box is way too small and when I press with my finger I don't see any zoom window... Note 4

so .. the GUI didn't work as claimed ... then it took forever to render whatever it was trying to render, so android helped me close it :- would like to try the app it is supposed to be, but not going to persist with something unknown that doesn't do what it said on the box. :-

I wish I knew why the dev chose to use such an infuriatingly useless interface... Plus one star as the app could be among the best of its type in the store, if it wasn't for the controls that bring the manipulation of fractal renderings close to impossible.
