Fractal4D is a simple cross-platform GLFW/OpenGL app to run a function on the GPU for every pixel.

Controls

  • Comma: Lower resolution
  • Dot/period: Increase resolution
  • Mouse: Look around
  • WASD: Fly in camera direction
  • Space: Fly up
  • Shift: Fly down
  • Scroll: change camera speed

Usage

Edit the getPixel(in vec2 pixel_coords) function inside /res/raymarcher.comp with the GLSL code you'd like to run on the GPU. The shader will be run as a compute shader, which requires at least a GPU supporting OpenGL 4.3.

Building

Make sure you have the GLFW library installed in your system! I used the glfw-x11 package from the AUR.

To do an out-of-source build, run the following commands:

  1. mkdir build
  2. cd build
  3. cmake ..
  4. make

The executable Fractal4D will be output. Make sure the res folder is in the working directory!
