03 / THE INFINITY ENGINE
More depth.
More to discover.
Version 3’s Infinity Engine extends the validated Mandelbrot zoom range from 10¹⁶× to 10²⁵×, opening more of the boundary to exploration.
Apple’s Metal GPU technology does the pixel-heavy work. Adaptive finite precision and a fallback renderer help keep the result trustworthy. Useful detail and render time depend on the scene, settings, and device.
