This is where code meets cinematic immersion. Background Spatial Shader is a shader engine that creates stereosopic, immersive, and 3D spatial shader experiences. The engine achieves the stereosopic effect, by rendering two shader images, one for each eye, taking into account the positional differences between the device anchor and the position of the person’s eyes. A shader is a small program that determines how pixels and vertices are rendered on screen, creating realistic lighting, shading, and effects in 3D graphics. It's the key to making objects in a scene look lifelike and visually appealing. A spatial shader, similar to a spatial photo or spatial video, will appear in 3D when viewed on Apple Vision Pro. Spatial Shader uses Apple's low-overhead 3D hardware-accelerated Metal API 3D to draw everything a user sees. Spatial Shaders Mandelbulb Voyage A mandelbulb is a 3 dimensional fractal, widely recognized for its intricate and visually stunning structures. It is an extension of the Mandelbrot Set (2D fractal) into three dimensions. It is created in 2009 by Daniel White and Paul Nylander and uses a novel formula involving spherical coordinates.

About

Graphica

Features
Read full description

GRAPHICA is a gallery app for creating generative art from words. Describe the scenery, texture, colors, or motion you have in mind, and AI turns it into a shader you can preview as an animated piece. Publish the ones you like to the public gallery, and browse what other people have made. Key features: - Generate generative art from a text prompt - Preview generated pieces instantly - Browse the public gallery - Manage your own works from My Page - Sign in with Apple / email magic link - Show a piece on your Home Screen widget - Launch the gallery or the creation screen from Shortcuts or Siri - Switch to a static poster when Reduce Motion is enabled Generation can use the shared server-side quota, your own API key (BYOK), or on-device generation on supported hardware. BYOK API keys are stored in the device Keychain and never sent to the server. Published works can be reported; content found inappropriate may be hidden or lead to account suspension. Accounts can be deleted from within the app.
