A simple raytracing program which renders still images and animations of 3D fractals and other shapes. This program is written in Java and uses JavaFX for its GUI.
Download the executable JAR file from here. This program (unsurprisingly) requires Java installed to run.
To start the program, simply open the downloaded JAR file, or execute java -jar javafx-fractal-raytracer.jar from the command line.
Generated with apngasm and ffmpeg. 1080p videos available for download here.
