Fractal Flow provides 3
different kinds of effects: Distortions, ripples, and waves. Each effect has
many controls to define that effect and all effects also support lighting controls
to enhance the effect, as well as anti-aliasing of effects.
Fractal Flow now supports
a number of 2d platforms in addition to 3ds max. Discreet combustion, Adobe
After Effects, Adobe Premiere, and Digital Fusion are all supported. With the
Hydra Licensing System, each of these platforms can share a single license.
Fractal Flow can also be network licensed using Hydra. This means that any computer
on your network can use Fractal Flow on any supported package using a single
licensing server.
Fractal Flow's interface
works seamlessly with all of its supported packages. Below is how the interface
is organized in Digital Fusion. Each of Fractal Flow's types of distortions
and controls are given separate tabs. Each of the supported packages use appropriate
organizational standards so that you will not need to learn a new workflow or
interface when using Fractal Flow.

Fractal Flow has also been
highly optimized with Pentium 4 extensions to provide you the best performance
possible on your system. With these new optimizations you can see a more than
200% increase in performance. Fractal Flow is also fully multi threaded, which
will take advantage of all of the cpu's on your workstation.
Fractal Flow's fractal based
distortions and wave effects generate a smooth and organic distortion that will
avoid the looping artifacts of other distortion systems. Fractal Flow's distortion
effects can be layered to increase the complexity of the distortion. This is
often useful when creating heat distortions for example, since there are a number
of wavelets in these types of effects.
