Fractal rendering, explained

MandelKit is both a creative tool and a demanding numerical renderer. These guides explain what happens between a coordinate, a Metal shader and the final image.

Choose a path

Start with the rendering pipeline if you are interested in performance, with deep zoom if numerical precision is the question, or with colors and effects if you want to shape the final look.

  1. Fractal rendering with Apple Metal

    How MandelKit turns parallel fractal mathematics into an interactive native renderer for Apple devices.

  2. Exporting fractals at 100,000 pixels

    Why very large images need a tiled, disk-backed pipeline instead of one oversized Metal texture.

  3. Deep zoom, perturbation and BLA

    A practical explanation of reference orbits, arbitrary precision and progressive deep-zoom rendering.

  4. Fractal colors, textures and effects

    Understand color sources, gradients, interference rings, contours, textures and 3D relief as separate stages.
