Explore procedural worlds on your GPU. Worlds are defined by GLSL programs that map XYZ coordinates to the distance to the nearest surface. Design your own worlds, modify parameters in realtime and render hires videos of your recorded journey.

Project Samples

Baroque architecture in positive-scale Mandelbox. Simple Menger-like structures. Lace structures on the surface. Two of the many hidden easter eggs. Kiki and Bouba on the run. The border of the Klingon territory.

    it looks really cool but I am just a pleb who uses software and cannot compile, code stuff, was wondering if there is an easier way to get other fractals in, if there were examples I could use?

    It worked beautifully with my computer. I worried that my card wasn't a late enough model for this. Nope, just had not gotten it all the way installed yet. So, after correcting that, you see, I just got a new computer, so still setting up things. Other than that fixable problem, I came back and it was GORGEOUS! I could sail through the creation of my computer. I didn't sail all the way down it, but wanted to preview it so I can make visits to that dream world every day or so. KEWL THING!
