#Magnet #Mandelbrot set #fractal mashed up with #ThreeD #Triplex algebra (a la #Mandelbulb) rendered with #DualNumber #DistanceEstimation in #FragM fork of #Fragmentarium

My highly over-engineered extravagant framework of shaders including each other multiple times with different things defined (to emulate C++ templates with #GLSL function overloading without polymorphism) takes significantly longer to link the #shader than it does to render the #animation.

First attempts with typos gave 100k lines of cascaded errors in the shader info log, which which the Qt GUI list widget was Not Happy At All. Luckily the log went to stdout too, so I could pipe to a file and see the start where I missed a return statement or two.
