The Sierpinski Triangle, also called the Sierpinski gasket or the Sierpinski Sieve, is a fractal and attractor with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles. Much like the Barnsley Fern Fractal, it is a mathematically generated pattern that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction. It is named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński.
This implementation of the Sierpinski Triangle fractal is a no-frills version with ultra-fast processing. It is fully multithreaded and can handle significantly large resolutions using it’s separate preview and render multipliers.
Sierpinski Triangle is 100% multi-threaded capable of using an unlimited number of cores for ultimate speed.
Iterations: Defines the maximum number of iterations to compute. The more iterations performed, the more complete the final image will be, but the longer the computation.
FG Color: Specifies the Sierpinski color.
BG Color: Specifies the background color.
Preview / Render Multipliers: Specifies iteration multipliers for high resolution renders. These multipliers are multiplied by the iterations for both preview window and final render respectively. Therefore a preview with 1,000 iterations and a preview multiplier of 10X will provide 1,000 X 10 = 10,000 total iterations.
