Abstract

A common problem when rendering fractals is, that the user has only limited abilities to choose a camera-position in real-time and therefore the workflow is not optimal. But not only the camera position In this paper the solution to this problem will be described by the example of the FraCuda application. It uses the CUDA-API to implement a Ray Caster for fractals, which includes Real-time Rendering techniques to improve the visual appearance of the resulting image. The application consists of a Real-time Rendering application for fractals and a program that generates high quality images with the same technique, which leads to an increased workflow when it comes to rendering hyper complex fractals.
