Recursive seed engine
Feed it a single z → z² + c constant and the escape-time field resolves into nautili, vortices and branching corals in under 8 milliseconds per frame.
Nimbus v3 · real-time fractal growth
Grow living light from a mathematical seed
Nimbus turns complex-number seeds into bioluminescent fractal worlds — spirals, corals and glowing filaments, rendered live in your browser at 120 frames per second.
Capabilities
An engine tuned like an organism
Three systems working as one metabolism — pure math, living pigment, and raw GPU growth.
Bioluminescent materials
A metabolic shader layer breathes pigment into geometry — chlorophyll greens and abyssal violets that pulse in sync with your frame rate.
GPU colony growth
Every iteration runs on WebGPU compute. Ten million points of your Mandelbrot garden grow live — no baking, no overnight renders.
Process
From seed to organism in three moves
No timelines, no keyframes — just a constant, a metabolism, and light.
01
Plant a seed
Pick a complex constant and a lattice resolution. The Julia set morphs the instant you nudge a slider.
02
Grow the colony
Dial recursion depth, glow decay and pigment metabolism while the structure branches in front of you.
03
Publish the organism
Export 4K loops and vector paths, or ship a live seed link that anyone can remix in their browser.
Field notes
Grown, not rendered
What happens when studios trade keyframes for constants.
“We replaced an entire motion-graphics pipeline with one seed. Our clients assume we hired a marine biologist.”
“The glow-decay shader alone is worth the subscription. Our album-launch visuals were grown, not rendered.”
“I typed four characters, got a coral reef of light, and put it on a 40-meter LED wall. Zero dropped frames.”

Questions
Before you descend
Pricing, technology and access — answered.
Nothing is pre-rendered. Every frame re-evaluates your seed on the GPU, so you can zoom fourteen orders of magnitude, mutate constants and relight the scene live.
No — seeds are sliders and swatches. If you can tune a synthesizer, you can grow a reef. Raw complex expressions are there whenever you want them.
Spore if you are exploring, Colony once you export daily, Ecosystem when a whole team grows on shared reefs. Switch at any time — your seeds travel with you.
Any WebGPU-capable browser from 2023 onward. On older machines we fall back to WebGL2 with lighter recursion depth — still live, just fewer filaments.
Cancel any time — no filament attached. Every seed, preset and export you have grown stays yours and downloadable forever.
