Top 15 Qosmic Alternative and Similar Softwares | Apr 2024

Qosmic is graphical interface for creating, editing, and rendering flam3 fractal images. The electricsheep screen saver has been gaining popularity, and Qosmic was developed to provide a Qt interface for people interested in creating and contributing sheep.

1. Electric Sheep

Electric Sheep Electric Sheep is a collaborative abstract artwork founded by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the Electric Sheep comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet......

2. Fractal Fr0st

Fractal Fr0st Fractal Fr0st is a fractal flame editor. It comes with an elegant and easy to use GUI and powerful python scripting. It is built on top of flam3, but also supports alternate renderers such as flam4 (for GPU rendering).......

3. Oxidizer

Oxidizer "Oxidizer is a free open source fractal flame editor for the Apple Macintosh, running OSX 10.4 or greater."Although not quite the same as chaoscope (it is a fractal flame generator instead of a strange attractor generator), it is a great alternative to chaoscope. The program takes a little getting used......

4. Flam3

Flam3 Flames are algorithmically generated images and animations. The software was originally written in 1992 and released as open source, aka free software. Over the years it has been greatly expanded, and is now widely used to create art and special effects. The shape and color of each image is specified......

5. VirtualRender

VirtualRender VirtualRender is yet another LightWave renderer. The difference from other solutions is that it does not use physical memory for framebuffer allowing to render the biggest imaginable scenes without using virtual memory, which slow down rendering a lot, or which immediately result in complete failure at initialization stage. That's why......

6. Picogen

Picogen A free Terrain Synthesizer and RendererPicogen is an outdoor ray tracing system, a free Terrain Synthesizer and Renderer targeting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations.......

7. Kray

Kray Kray is the fastest global illumination renderer for LightWave.Kray is a state of the art Global Illumination renderer that allows very fast and accurate rendering of scenes where indirect light plays important role. It includes most advanced modern algorithms and optimizations that allow it to render full global illumination, reflections,......

8. Flamingo

Flamingo Raytracing and Radiosity Rendering for Rhino.Flamingo brings the raytrace and radiosity rendering inside Rhino. This plug-in includes:Rendering:Photometrically accurate images with reflections, refraction, diffusion, translucency, transparency, color bleeding, hard and soft shadows, depth of field, depth attenuation, and indirect lighting.Materials:Drag and drop from an extensive material library with user controllable properties......

9. Artlantis Render

Artlantis Render Artlantis Render is designed more for those who seek very high quality rendering (architects, interior designers, urban planners, landscapers, exhibition organizers, exhibitors, etc.). Artlantis, the fastest stand-alone 3D rendering and animation application designed especially for architects and designers, is a leader in radiosity, also known as global illumination. Artlantis is......

10. IRender nXt

IRender nXt Tools To Enhance Google SKetchUp. Render Plus Systems makes plug-in's that add functionality and convenience to Google SketchUp!......

11. DAZ Studio

DAZ Studio Unlike most 3D software, where 3D objects are usually created from scratch, DAZ Studio is designed to allow users to manipulate "ready to use" models and figures. It is aimed at users who are interested in posing human figures for illustrations and animation, but who may be daunted by more......

12. Mandelbulber

Mandelbulber Mandelbulber is an experimental application that helps to make rendering 3D Mandelbrot fractals much more accessible. A few of the supported 3D fractals: Mandelbulb, Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, Quaternion, Trigonometric, Hypercomplex, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS). All of these can be combined into infinite variations with the ability to......

13. FPrime Rendering System

FPrime Rendering System Realtime rendering, giving you instant feedback on every step of your work. Interactive texturing, lighting, shadows and radiosity. Even Nodes! The key tool to efficient LightWave workflow.......

14. Shaderlight

Shaderlight As an interactive, photorealistic renderer, Shaderlight redefines traditional rendering workflows. Simple to learn and easy to use, it features ‘progressive’ rendering that lets you see your image develop as you work so you can visualize your ideas in no time.Not only can you move objects or camera angles within a......

15. 3Delight

3Delight 3Delight is a fast, high quality, RenderMan®-compliant renderer designed to produce photo-realistic images in demanding production environments. The renderer was introduced to the public in the year 2000 after being used for more than a year as the sole renderer in a sister production company. It is now widely used......
