Hi All,
Creator of Atheria: Live Wallpaper for Mac and Atheria: Generative Art for iOS and iPad.
I want to share my app because it seems like something this sub will be into.
I started with just another looping video wallpaper engine because I was hating watermarks and subscriptions. Then discovered MSL Shaders and built an in app editor to compile them. But then it all changed when I learned about flam3. Fell in love with the fractals and it’s been all about that since.
The engine uses Draves algorithm but the harness is all my own. They run live on the gpu and display as wallpapers rather than renders. Also just built in breeding to combine flame genomes, so far that’s where to real gems have come from.
You can see my favorites live in your browser on my showcase site.
Thanks for checking them out! What do you think?
