Quat is a 3D-Fractal-Generator. Create three dimensional fractals with this tool. Quat help you with the calculation of genuine three dimensional fractals, like those you can see in the Artist Forum, the Fractal Gallery or at the Sculptures.

Quat calculates a fractal in PNG image format using 24bit true color. The calcuation can be done in text mode, graphical output during calculation is also possible, but often in worse quality than the image being saved.

Quat runs on a variety of platforms. Following precompiled versions could be downloaded: Windows (32bit), Linux (X Window System) and DOS. Furthermore, it should be no problem to recompile the source on any system that has an ANSI-C-Compiler installed, at least in a version without graphical output.

Quat Features:
1. True-Color is used with palettes which can be created freely (smoothly shaded range between two colors)
2. Generation of 3d stereo images
3. Possibility to use Z buffers
4. The fractal is colored by a mathematical formula that can be defined by the user. The formula has an index to the true-color-palette as its result. For example, the fractal may be blue on the left side and get more and more red to the right.
5. Resolution and number of colors of the generated image does not depend on the video mode used for calculation. So the calculation can even be done in text mode.
6. The fractal object can be cut open using intersection planes. So their interior can be seen.
7. Calculation of an image can be interrupted and resumed.
8. Quat runs on many platforms
9. It may be copied freely, source code is available (see GNU License)
