END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

So this is my first post here, howdy all.
I wrote this WebGL and WebCL fractal studio, it's 2d only for now, as I've tended to be more interested in making art with 2d fractals thus far.

Worked on it for quite a while now (on and off over a few years since WebGL was new), I kind of wrote it to do what I wanted then after that started trying to make it usable for a wider audience - then feature creep and perfectionism took over and it took forever to approach a finished(ish) state.

Anyway here it is, interested in any feedback or bugs you might find.

Obviously requires a WebGL capable browser and preferably a decent GPU.
The WebCL support is optional, and only works using the Nokia Firefox plugin: http://webcl.nokiaresearch.com/
It's not as fast as WebGL mode, but does support double precision for deeper zooms (but only if your GPU supports double precision!)

Hi Syntopia, thanks for checking it out!


Hmm, yeah I agree sounds like a problem with the WebCL plugin combined with your OpenCL drivers, I'll have to test on some more platforms as I've only extensively tested WebCL support with the NVidia drivers. Are you using GPU or CPU OpenCL, do you know which drivers?

2nd problem is not something I've hit on before either, I'll have to do some more testing, which Chrome version is it? Did you try without Angle disabled too or only with it turned off?

Lastly the pan is only usable when you un-check "fit to window" and set the size to render a fractal larger than the window, it isn't actually a feature to change the rendered domain, just for scrolling the view window.

Thanks for the bug reports, much appreciated.

Update: looks like my WebCL implementation is a bit buggy, I didn't have many platforms to test on so really just got it working on NVidia. Should have it working on other platforms soon.


After spending a bit of time looking into this it seems disabling Angle on Chrome no longer works. Any WebGL demo I've tried with a recent version just hangs as soon as it tries to get a WebGL context.
I've reported it through the "Report an issue" button for what it's worth.
