An exploratory R&D project engineered in Unity 3D to deepen mastery of custom HLSL shader programming and real-time mathematical rendering. The application implements the Mandelbrot set fractal directly within the pixel shader pipeline, utilizing keyword-based parameter routing to drive real-time coordinate traversal and zooming. While theoretically infinite in mathematical scope, the implementation investigates hardware precision limits, demonstrating practical rendering boundaries constrained by standard floating-point bit precision.
