Formulas and navigation

Jux can draw both Julia and Mandelbrot fractals.

Here are some examples of different formulas and coloring (without lighting).

Coloring

There are many possible ways to color Mandelbrot/Julia fractals. Jux has built-in methods chosen for their simplicity, flexibility and aesthetics. You can use coloring alone, or modify it with heightfield lighting effects.

Lighting

Jux can add lighting effects to bring the fractals into 3D. The fractal is calculated as a height field in a 3D lighting environment.

Here are some examples of lighting with various materials.
