01
WebGPU rendering
Real-time IFS evaluation on the GPU — millions of iterations a second, redrawn the instant you touch the flame.
Built for hands-on exploration
A studio that keeps up
with your imagination.
Everything renders live in the browser on modern web standards — no native app, no plugins, no waiting.
02
Animation
Keyframe any parameter and play it back. Morphs, seamless loops and timeline scrubbing — your flame in motion.
03
Randomizer
Roll a brand-new flame, then mutate it — shapes, colors and animation — until something surprises you.
04
3D flames
Sculpt fractal flames in three dimensions, with an orientation gizmo and a full set of 3D variations.
05
Affine & variations editor
Grab transforms directly on the canvas, and write your own variations in WGSL or plain math.
06
Metadata-rich exports
Export PNGs with the full flame state embedded — any image reopens and remixes. Sharing is just a file.
07
Audio flames
Make the flame dance to music. Wire beats, bass and spectrum to any parameter with a node-graph editor, then export the performance to video.
08
Flame genetics
Breed two flames into offspring, evolve them across generations, or let the population simulator run — every lineage kept in an ancestry tree.
09
Sonification
Hear the fractal. The flame structure itself generates real-time audio, turning geometry into an instrument.

Under the hood
The math, live.
Define affine transforms and variations, weight their probabilities, and let the GPU resolve millions of iterations in real time. Drag the coefficients — the flame re-solves under your hands.
