This application generates a Buddhabrot fractal image in a PPM (Portable Pixel Map) file. The application provides several options to customize the fractal such as iterations for each colour channel, the number of samples to collect and the dimensions of the image. The generated PPM file can be viewed and edited using popular image editing software such as GIMP and Photoshop.

For more information about the Buddhabrot rendering technique, please refer to the following article on WIKI.

• Linux based distributions
• Mac OS X

• Compiler
  • G++ or Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

The following renderings are scaled down and enhanced with Photoshop.

The first image was originally 1000 x 1000 pixels generated using 20 iterations per colour channel at 50 samples per channel. The image size was 1.33 MB.

The second image was originally 8000 x 8000 pixels generated using 4000 iterations per colour channel at 500 samples per channel. The image size was 513 MB!

Please refer to the Wiki section for instructions on compiling and running the application.
