Mandelbrot and Julia fractals

Hey.

I got bored and wrote some fractal shaders for Unity. Thought I'd drop a web player link for you guys if you'd like to play around with it.
It's just Mandelbrot and Julia sets for now but I'm looking into creating some more interesting things.

Note: Min Shader Model 3.0. If you set the iteration count too high your browser will crash.

For those that don't know what this is here's some wikipedia links:

If you'd like I can drop the sources in the asset store.

 

I just get a black screen here.

Ah. Sorry I forgot to mention that it's SM4 shaders so won't work on DX9 card.

Edit: Now works with SM3.

 

Doesn't work on my macbook its black screen, has HD 5000 graphics which can do directX 11.

 

I tried with the -force-opengl flag and you're right it doesn't work.
Probably has something to do with the inverted coordinate system.

Edit: It seems that as soon as you target SM4 Unity won't use it with OpenGL.

Edit2: I rewrote the whole thing and now it supports both DX9 and OpenGL.

 

Yep, works here now. Very cool!

Great! Glad you like it.
I'll write some more fractal functions when I have more time to goof around and then post a pack to the asset store. Would be interesting to see more projects using fractal algorithms.

 

This really looks amazing, especially the first one, very cool, and yes it would be very interestedto see the code or at least having some hints on how you made this .

 

Looks brilliant! Would definitely pick it up on the Asset Store. Is the plan still to release this?

 

Website is down?

 

That's awesome! I'm really interested in seeing how this works. Can you give any advice on where to start with one of these or how you did it?

 

Hey,

I'd love to throw money your way for this!
