Chaotica is a commercial fractal art editor and renderer extending flam3 and Apophysis's functionality. There is also a free version with limited render resolution and animation length.^{[citation needed]}

Chaotica began as a personal project of Thomas E. Ludwig (lycium) in the deviantArt fractal community in 2010,^[1] but has since been handed over to Glare Technologies, the developers of Indigo Renderer.

Chaotica implements a generalized iterated function system and features a modern^{[as of?]} rendering engine based on advanced algorithms not found in open-source IFS implementations.^{[citation needed]} It has an animation editor, selective randomization of parameters, and imaging controls such as different anti-aliasing modes and RGB-channel response curves.

Chaotica's highlighted features ^[2] are:

1. GPU rendering and multi-GPU support, using OpenCL (Chaotica 2).
2. Animation support.
3. Modern CPU rendering engine.^{[further explanation needed]}.
4. Video encoding in H.264 or HEVC (in Chaotica 2).
5. Apophysis (software) / Flam3 compatibility^{[clarification needed]}.
6. Real-time imaging controls and HDR color curves in Chaotica help with quick rendering of animation frames.^[quantify]
