Abstract: This work presents a differentiable rendering approach that allows latent fractal flame parameters to be learned from image supervision using gradient descent optimization. The approach extends the state-of-the-art in differentiable iterated function system fractal rendering through support for color images, non-linear generator functions, and multi-fractal compositions. With this approach, artists can use reference images to quickly and intuitively control the creation of fractals. We describe the approach and conduct a series of experiments exploring its use, culminating in the creation of complex and colorful fractal artwork based on famous paintings.
