XenoDream which is the only program I know of that is exploring 3D IFS fractals using the chaos game was not really what I was looking for.
Primarily I was missing an easy way to do arbitrary rotations to a transform.
So this is my take at creating that program myself. Nec Spe Nec Metu.
The fractals are defined by editing text files instead of using a graphical user interface.
The main reason is that I really don't like creating user interfaces, especially not in C/C++.
There is no text editor provided, because others have done good ones already, no use inventing the wheel again.
OpenCL 1.1 and 64-bit Windows
StyrofoamIFS.exe - The main user interface.
user.config - Will be created during first run, stores settings.
anim - All movie images created will be stored here. Note that old images might be overwritten.
autosave - All non-movie images created will be stored here. Filenames have date and time and old images won't be overwritten.
background/*.cl - Examples of OpenCL source code for backgrounds.
bin/create_ifs_cache_cpp.exe - Creates the point-cloud and stores it in the cache folder. Several instances of this program will run simultaneously.
bin/raytrace_cl_cpp.exe - Raytraces the point-cloud and creates the final image.
bin/join_png_cpp.exe - Joins several image parts to a single image.
bin/Cloo.dll - Used by the user interface to get the list of OpenCL platforms and devices.
bin/Parameters.dll - Some common functionality.
bin/*.cl - OpenCL source files used by the raytracer.
cache/*.tmp - The point-cloud cache files.
cache/_raytrace_cl_parameters.txt - The list of cache files that will be rendered by the raytracer. Written after the point-cloud has been created.
ifs/*.ifs - Fractal definition files. All .ifs files in this folder will be listed in the IFS list in the user interface.
ifs/*.grp - Fractal definition group files. All .grp files in this folder will be listed in the IFS list in the user interface.
ifs/*.scene - Raytrace parameter files. All .scene files in this folder will be listed in the Scene list in the user interface.

StyrofoamIFS was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013
Special thanks to John C. Hart for his 1991 paper: Computer display of linear fractal surfaces.
The .ifs file fractal definitions are based on the definitions used in this paper.
