About this app

This app brings the magic of flame fractals to your phone!
It comes with both the fractal evolution module "MutaG" and the interactive renderer "IR", as known from the full JWildfire application, to your Android-capable device!
JWildfire is a very comprehensive software suite to both construct and render flame fractals (end even create movies of them).
In short, flame fractals are an extension to classical IFS (iterated function systems) and were invented by Scott Draves. They are capable to create an endless range of fascinating organic shapes. You may already know classical fern- or flower-like shapes, but there are virtually no limits. You can create trees, gems, demons, oceans, faces, pottery, ... you will often be surprised by your own creations!
With this app you will be able to create unique flame fractals by playing with the MutaG module. You can start with modifying one of 60 the stunning flame fractals which are included, and then later continue to modify your own creations. Share your renderings with your friends and amaze your girlfriend with an unique valentine fractal!
With the paid app you can export the "formulas" of your creations to be able to

render wallpapers, post-edit them using the full-fledged editor or even render artworks suited for print in extreme high quality. All you will need, is a decent personal computer and the full JWildfire application which is completely free and runs on any major platforms.

There are no hidden costs at all. The whole full application is completely free and you can use it without this app, of course.
The only cost ist just to unlock to feature of exporting your flames from this app, the PNG export is also included in the free app.

Features:
- full-fledged JWildfire-compatible flame renderer, even if not all features may be exposed, this renderer is even able to render flames with Pseudo3D-shading enabled, but this may take some time ;-)
- Flame library with 60 stunning example flames ready to be play with (some of them are even unfinished material yet). You can extend the flame library with your own work.
- MutaGen3x3 module to create endless mutations of flame fractals using the powerful mutation generators known from the JWildfire software
- MutaGen5x5 module to create even more complex mutations
- Interactive renderer with the ability to export rendered images as PNG
- Flame gallery with some stunning work made by myself to show what is possible with flame fractals
- Ability to export flames (only in the purchased app) via email to be able to render your flames in any quality you desire later (using the full and free JWildfire application for personal computers).

Upgrading: Be careful: If you upgrade any version, you may loose your personal flames. So please export (eventually as image) all your stuff which matters, before doing any update.

It's fun and creates some interesting random flames. There are 100 examples included as well. The app has not updated in some time however. Also the resolution and render quality can't match the PC version. But you can go in file manager and send the saved flames to your PC with the share option to tweak them and/or render nicer quality.

This is fun. I've done 4 hour renders on my phone, and they look great. It would be real nice to set render time or cycles, with maybe a close app option. Good intro to the full blown computer app, and sometimes I like to just use this.

I've been a regular user of JWildfire since 2017. I've been making fractals since 2005. JWildfire Mini is a nice way to pass the time by exploring fractals and admiring the random beauty that appears on the screen at the touch of a button. This app is good to have for the fractal maker's toolkit.
