Cool. If you want to try rendering some flame fractals, you can try our Fractal software Chaotica (https://www.chaoticafractals.com/) which was used to make the first image in the linked post (Vorpol Dawn By technochroma).
We didn't exactly use compute shaders for Chaotica, we used OpenCL instead, which is a more general GPGPU framework like CUDA.

Honestly, this is such a good rewrite of Apophysis. Congrats to you all for bringing back some happy memories.

I love the look of flame fractals, but I never figured out how to tweak things to get them to look more like how I want. I could never predict what a particular change would do to the look, or which change is needed to get a particular look.
I tried Apophysis (or one of the many spinoffs), but it never quite clicked.

It might not run very well depending on your hardware, though.
We're lurking on Discord these days, there are some new people from Austria sometimes joining our meetups, you should come along :)
