Ephemeral [OS X]

Free, Version 1.1.1

Ephemeral is a screen saver that draws animated IFS fractals, giving an ever-changing display of complex, natural shapes. Ephemeral uses OpenCL (a feature of OS X introduced with Snow Leopard) to efficiently generate the IFS images.

This screen saver is an evolution of my Windows-only Ephemera screen saver that I first released way back in 1997.

Requirements

• OS X 10.6 or later.

Downloads

• Ephemeral (OS X) — 81 kB

New in Version 1.1.1

• Ephemeral now regenerates the OpenCL kernels each time OS X is updated. This ensures that Ephemeral picks up any updates to OpenCL, and helps to retain compatibility with new versions of OS X.
