What's next

The engine already runs on mobile — the UI needs a proper pass. Touch-first panel layouts, bigger hit targets, and a control scheme that respects limited screen space. Phones aren't a second-class citizen goal; they should be a first-class way to explore.

Custom filenames and save locations, plus a batch queue for rendering many variations overnight. Manufacturing workflows often need 20+ iterations to lock a design.

Route mesh-SDF generation through the same feature-injection system as the main renderer, so new features automatically work in mesh export. Internal refactor — eliminates the parallel shader builder.

Generalize the current two-formula Interlace into a full Mandelbulber-style sequence — any number of formulas layered per iteration with per-formula weights. The real feature gap identified by the hybrid-architecture research.

Crossfade between saved scenes over time instead of hard-cutting. Interpolates camera, parameters, lighting, and coloring together — built for live performance and cinematic pacing.

Map Xbox / PlayStation / flight-stick controllers to camera and parameter control. Analog sticks feel radically better than WASD for fractal exploration.

Map MIDI CC messages to any parameter. Perform fractals live with a hardware controller, or sync to a DAW for music-reactive animation.

Stream the viewport directly into VDMX, Resolume, MadMapper, and other VJ tools via Spout. Windows desktop-app feature; Syphon equivalent on macOS.

Native desktop shell via WebView2 for Chrome-equivalent performance, offline access, and better GPU control. Also the home for Spout output and any other OS-level integrations. macOS and Linux follow the Windows build.
