This project uses a compute shader in Unity to render a 3D graph made up of geometric shapes. Each cube in the graph is positioned on the GPU based on mathematical functions like waves, ripples, and spheres. I wrote an HLSL shader to color the cubes based on their position, which adds depth and variation across the surface.
For the fractal system, I used Unity’s Job System to handle updates across a large recursive structure. This let me animate complex transformations like rotation and sway without tanking performance. I also added color variation using another HLSL shader, so the fractal would look more organic and less uniform.

This project was created with the help of tutorials from CatLikeCoding by Jasper Flick. Their in-depth explanations and guidance were invaluable in understanding procedural generation, Unity's Burst compiler, and GPU instancing.
