• Choose up to 100 vertices The maximum number of vertices has gone up dramatically from 12 up to 100.
• View transformation preview Now you can see a preview of the transformations that will be applied to give you an idea on what the rendered fractal will look like.
• No more preferences Now you can choose the background color in the new fractal window, and you can select a color for each of the vertices simply by double clicking it.
• Universal Binary Chaotica 2.0 is a universal binary.
• More to come And this is only in the beta, the final version of Chaotica 2.0 will include many more features such as the ability to save, export and print fractals!
