    For the last couple of years I have been experimenting with generating fractals in Unity. It took me a while to get it working in HDRP but very happy with the result so far.

    I imagine this as flying through the quantum foam fluctuations in space that is the very fabric of space. Beautiful! :)

    This is a compute shader, right?

    Thanks! You are right, ended up using cone marching via compute shaders. For those interested; this 2012 paper by demo group Fulcrum has a great and very detailed description of cone marching: http://www.fulcrum-demo.org/wp-cont...ng_Mandelbox_by_Seven_Fulcrum_LongVersion.pdf
