Fragmentarium is an open source, cross-platform IDE by Mikael Hvidtfeldt Christensen ^[1] for exploring pixel based graphics on the GPU. It is inspired by Adobe's Pixel Bender, but uses GLSL, and is created specifically with fractals and generative systems in mind."

Features:

Multi-tabbed IDE, with GLSL syntax highlighting
User widgets to manipulate parameter settings.
Different 'mouse to GLSL' mapping schemes
Modular GLSL programming - include other fragments
Includes simple raytracer for distance estimated systems
Many examples including Mandelbulb, Mandelbox, Kaleidoscopic IFS, and Julia Quaternion.

This the unofficial wiki about it.

Intro

Fragmentarium comes in a few different flavors. The major differences are...

Version 1.0 has only the "time" variable for animating.
Version 1.0.31 introduces camera position Catmull-Rom spline based keyframing, parameter morphing with easing curves, target tracking auto focus, OpenEXR format input for textures and output for images, along with German, Dutch and Russian translations.
Version 2.0.0 brings samplerCube textures and double precision uniform widgets.

Get v1.0

Precompiled Mac and Windows executable packages can be found at syntopia.github^[7]

or on Ubuntu Linux...

Prerequisites

cmake 3
Qt 4
C++ compiler
OpenGL development libs
Git (if fetching the source directly from the repository)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxext-dev libqt4-opengl-dev

git clone https://github.com/Syntopia/Fragmentarium

Build

cd Fragmentarium-master
cd Fragmentarium-Source
cd "Build - Linux"  ( there are also build folders for Mac OSX, Windows and QCreator with build scripts. )
sh build.sh

Run

Go to the ~/Fragmentarium-master/Fragmentarium-Source directory, then run Gui program :

cd ~/Fragmentarium-master/Fragmentarium-Source
./Fragmentarium-Source

Note: at this point it would be a good idea to move the Examples, Icons and Misc folders with the Fragmentarium executable into a suitable working folder and change the name of the Fragmentarium-Source.exe file.

Get v1.0.31

Windows installer can be found at Digilanti.org^[8]

Windows users can download the 6.0M Fragmentarium Installer and run it by navigating to your Downloads folder and clicking the installer icon.

This will install the Windows Executable + Examples Includes and Misc folders + Qt 5.6.2 runtime DLLs + GUI translation files into a working folder in your home folder with startmenu shortcuts to the executable and the Maintenance program.

Source Code

Download Fragmentarium 1.0.31 sources bundled with OpenEXR sources or the smaller archive with precompiled static OpenEXR libs.

For windows the compile scripts expect to find the source in top level of C: drive so extract the archive there or adjust the pathnames in the windows bat file.

Note: the v1.0.31 sources are available on request as development is in the v2.0 branch from here on.

Prerequisites

CMake 3 + CMake-gui
Qt 5.6
C++ compiler
OpenGL

The above packages should be installed along with their corresponding development packages.

Git (if fetching the source directly from the repository)

Build

Windows

After installing Qt v5.6 and MinGW v4.9.2

Start Menu/Programs/Qt Tools/5.6/MinGW 4.9.2 (32-bit)/Qt 5.6 for Desktop (MinGW 4.9.2 32 bit)
cd C:/Fragmentarium-1.0.31-3Dickulus/
mkmingw

This will build OpenEXR and the Fragmentarium project and install the executable with support files to C:/Fragmentarium-1.0.31-3Dickulus/Fragmentarium folder, this folder can then be relocated to wherever you like.

Linux

The archive can be extracted anywhere and the standard development environment with Qt5 OpenGL and OpenEXR should suffice.

cd <wherever>/Fragmentarium-1.0.31-3Dickulus/
sh ./mklinux.sh

This will build OpenEXR and the Fragmentarium project and install the executable and support files to <wherever>/Fragmentarium-1.0.31-3Dickulus/Fragmentarium folder, this folder can then be relocated to wherever you like.

To build Fragmentarium only, after running one of the scripts...

cd <wherever>/Fragmentarium-1.0.31-3Dickulus/Fragmentarium-Source/build
cmake-gui .. ( to change any paths or precompile flags like the install prefix )
cmake-gui->configure
cmake-gui->generate
cmake-gui->quit

...this should create a file named Fragmentarium-2.0.b-my_build.dmg in the build folder.

Now that you have it installed ;)

Open syntopia.github^[11] in your browser to learn about preprocessor commands, magical uniforms and GUI elements.

Open blog.hvidtfeldts^[12] in your browser to learn about the math behind path tracing 3D fractals and the GLSL code.

The information found at the v1.0 Syntopia links is valid for all versions of Fragmentarium.

GUI Usage

Run from the desktop by clicking the icon for the executable file. You can drag and drop .frag , .fragparams and .png screenshot files onto the main window and Fragmentarium will open a new tab for a .frag file or apply the parameter settings to the current fragment. Settings are stored in screen shot png files in a chunk named "frAg" and are automatically recognized by Fragmentarium.

Commandline Usage

./Fragmentarium-2.0.b [options] [filename.frag] <enter>

Output:

Fragmentarium is a cross-platform IDE for exploring pixel based GPU graphics.

Options:
-h, --help                 Displays this help.
-v, --version              Displays version information.
--style <style>            sets the application GUI style.
                           Possible values are
                           'Breeze','Windows','GTK+','Fusion'.
-l, --language <language>  sets the application language.
                           Possible values are 'en','de','ru','nl'.
-s, --script <script>      Fragmentarium command script file to load.

Arguments:
filename.frag              initial fragment to open.

Troubleshooting

OpenGL version mismatch

FragM 2 expects an OpenGL 4.1 Compatibility Profile context. Some drivers provide a lower version in Compatibility Profile, reserving higher versions for Core Profile.

Check it :

   glxinfo | grep "core profile"

Unfortunately if FragM gets a lower version, it can crash on startup with a segmentation fault.

Mesa

Check if you are using MESA:

  glxinfo | grep version

If using Mesa for OpenGL (most commonly on Linux with Free/Libre Open Source drivers) you can force Mesa to lie about its capabilities by setting an environment variable in the shell before launching FragM:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE="4.6COMPAT"

This may however merely postpone crashes until unsupported features are invoked. Use at your own risk.

Scripting

Fragmentarium can be controlled via scripting commands available in fqscript files.

General commands

   void setFrame(int);

Sets the current frame number.

   int getFrame();

Returns the current frame number.

   void loadFragFile(String);

Opens a new editor tab, loads the named fragment file, initializes default preset, initializes keyframes and easing curves if the file contains these settings.

   bool initializeFragment();

Returns success or fail. Must be called after altering a locked variable before rendering an image.

Parameter commands

   void setParameter(String);

Set a parameter from String in the form of "parameter = value" also accepts parameter file formated string.

   void setParameter(String, bool);

Sets a boolean parameter where String is the parameter name and bool is TRUE or FALSE

   void setParameter(String, int);

Sets an integer parameter where String is the parameter name and int is any integer.

   void setParameter(String, x);

Sets a float parameter where String is the parameter name and x is any floating point number.

   void setParameter(String, x, y);

Sets a float2 parameter where String is the parameter name and x,y are any floating point numbers.

   void setParameter(String, x, y, z);

Sets a float3 parameter where String is the parameter name and x,y,z are any floating point numbers.

   void setParameter(String, x, y, z, w);

Sets a float4 parameter where String is the parameter name and x,y,z,w are any floating point numbers.

   String getParameter(String);

Returns a string representing the value(s) for the named parameter, user must parse this into usable values.

   void applyPresetByName(String);

Applies the named preset.

Hires image and animation dialog commands

   void setAnimationLength(int);

Sets the total animation duration in seconds.

   void setTileWidth(int);
   void setTileHeight(int);

Sets the tile width and height.

   void setTileMax(int);

Sets the number of row and column tiles, this value squared = total tiles.

   void setSubFrames(int);

Sets the number of frames to accumulate.

   void setOutputBaseFileName(String);

Sets the filename for saved image, if script has total control this must be set by the script for every frame, if animation is using frag file settings, keyframes etc., then this only needs to be set once to basename and Fragmentarium will add an index padded to 5 digits.

   void setFps(int);

Sets the frames per second for rendering.

   void setStartFrame(int);

Sets the start frame number for rendering a range of frames.

   void setEndFrame(int);

Sets the end frame number for rendering a range of frames.

   void setAnimation(bool);

FALSE sets animation to script control exclusively. TRUE enables control from keyframes and easing curves.

   void setPreview(bool);

TRUE will preview frames in a window on the desktop instead of saving image files.

Control commands

   bool scriptRunning();

Returns FALSE when the user selects the [Stop] button in the script editor. For user implemented test in script to break out of the script control loop.

   void stopScript();

For user implemented test in script to break out of the script control loop or error like file not found, initialization fail etc.

   void tileBasedRender();

Begins rendering the current frame or range of frames applying the current state for keyframes and active easing settings.

Preprocessor Commands

(from syntopia.github.io) Fragmentarium adds a few additional preprocessor commands.

#include "some.frag"

Simply includes the referenced file. If the filename is a relative filename, Fragmentarium first searches for the file relative to the location of the current executing file (if it is saved), otherwise the paths specified in the 'include path' preference are searched.

#camera 3D

Tells Fragmentarium to setup a 3D camera model, making it possible to adjust the camera using the mouse on the canvas.

#camera 2D

Tells Fragmentarium to setup a 2D camera model.

#group parameter group name

Makes it possible to order GUI elements in groups.

#info "hello there"

Outputs info when compiling the fragment. Useful for attributions.

#includeonly "some.frag"

Experimental. Includes 'some.frag', but will ignore any 'include' commands in that file.

#replace "before" "after"

Experimental. Replaces the given patterns in all subsequent read lines (not in previously parsed lines).

#donotrun

Tells Fragmentarium that it should not attempt to run this file - it is meant be included from another file.

#preset name

Marks the beginning of a section with parameter settings. These will appear in a drop-down combobox in the parameter editor window.

#endpreset

Marks the end of a section with parameter settings.

Uniform Widgets

The line: uniform float Angle; slider[45.00,0,360] in the GLSL editor will make a simple variable editor widget appear.

To create widgets for other types of uniforms...

uniform type name ; widget[min,default,max] locktype

The keyword uniform must always be present at the beginning of the line.
locktype can be one of locked notlocked notlockable alwayslocked defaults to notlocked
In the Menu/Edit/Preferences dialog you can select the behavior of lock handling. "Locked" uniforms can be interpreted as "#define"s or as "const"s in the final GLSL code that gets sent to the GPU.

type and widget can be one of these GLSL valid types and corresponding Fragmentarium widgets...

Tutorials

00 - Simple 2D system.frag

#include "2D.frag"

// The simplest way to draw something in Fragmentarium,
// is to include the "2D.frag" header.
//
// Now, we can implement a simple 'color' function,
// which for each point in the plane returns a RGB color.
//
// Notice, that you can zoom using the mouse or the keyboard.
// (A,S,D,W,Q,E,1,3)

vec3 color(vec2 c) {
	return vec3(cos(c.x),sin(c.y),sin(c.x*c.y));
}

01 - Simple 2D Escape Time Fractal.frag

#include "2DJulia.frag"
#include "Complex.frag"

// Escape time fractals iterate a functions for each point
// in the plane, and check if the sequence generated converges.
// 
// The "2DJulia.frag" helper file makes it easy to generate
// these kind of systems.
//
// Just implement the 'formula' function below.
// It is possible to draw Mandelbrots and Julias
// and customize the coloring.
//
// Here is an example of a Mandelbrot:

vec2 formula(vec2 z, vec2 offset) {
	z = cMul(z,z)+offset;
	return z;
}

02 - User Variables and Presets.frag

#include "2D.frag"

// It is easy to create custom variables,
// and tie them to sliders in the user interface.
//
// Hint: use the context menu to quickly
// insert templates for different variable types.
// Here you can also see the different types 
// of variables.

// Organize controls by grouping them 
#group MySystem

// Creates a floating point variable,
// with a slider with minimum = 0,
// default = 1, and maximum 10.
uniform float X; slider[0,1,10]
uniform float Y; slider[0,1,10]

// Use the variable like any other in the code
// (But don't assign to them)
vec3 color(vec2 c) {
	return vec3(cos(c.x*X)+sin(c.y*Y),
		sin(c.x*Y)+cos(c.y*X),
		sin(c.x*c.y));
}

// It is possible to store one or more user variable
// settings in a Preset.
//
// Preset are parsed at build time, and will
// appear in the drop-down box in the Parameter 
// window, where they can be quickly applied.

// Presets with the name 'Default'
// will be automatically assigned,
// when the system is built the first time.
#preset Default

03 - Dynamic Systems.frag

#include "2D.frag"

// It is possible to change variables
// based on a special uniform 'time' variable.
//
// To see this in action, you must
// change the Render mode to 'Animation (time)' - 
// otherwise the system will only render changes 
// when something changes.

#group MySystem

// from Fragmentarium using textures.
// Set up a sampler2D as below,
// and read using the texture2D command.
#group MySystem

30 - Simple Keyframe Animation.frag

How-To create a KeyFrame Animation:

Select Menu Item... Edit->Insert Command->Presets->Insert Preset From Current Settings or Push the "F8" key.
This will give you the opportunity to choose a name or use the one provided.
For a NON-KeyFrame preset change the name to whatever you like.
Leave it as is to add this as a KeyFrame, must be named "KeyFrame.nnn" and it will auto increment as you add new ones.
Must have at least 2 KeyFrames to begin animating.
Suggest starting with only a default Preset.
After adding a few keyframes select the "Animation" button then select "Play". You should see your animation playing.
If you already have keyframes and want to adjust one...
Apply KeyFrame.nnn you want to edit as current view (from the Preset selection in the Parameters area)
Make changes to your view, where you look at, location etc.
Press the "F9" key to block mark the current keyframe in the text editor. ("Apply" does this for you)
In the menu select "Edit->Insert Command->Presets->Insert Preset From Current Settings" or press the "F8" key.
You will be shown "KeyFrame.nnn" where nnn is the same number as the currently selected frame.
New camera coordinates will replace the block marked keyframe.
That is it, done! this is how tutorial 30 was created
Camera path KeyFrame presets are only saved to a file when you save the GLSL script you create them in.
CTRL+S will save the current frag to file with no dialog.

31 - Simple Focal Plane Tracking Target.frag

How-To Enable Auto Focus

Add this line to your frag code, preferably in the "Camera" group if the AutoFocus widget doesn't already exist...

uniform bool AutoFocus; checkbox[false]

Now you can enable/disable focal plane target tracking, the focal plane default maximum distance is 5,

if you need more than that open the .frag file that contains the "FocalPlane" widget and edit the maximum...

uniform float FocalPlane; slider[0,1,5]

to what ever you need like...

uniform float FocalPlane; slider[0,1,50]

keep in mind that the target floats around at some distance from the camera, dynamically adjusted (sometimes a lot) as you navigate, it is generally beyond what you are looking at and will need to be set before you create a keyframe or they will need to be adjusted by hand in the keyframe presets.

NOTE:Mid Mouse Button Click on the fractal object should set the target at the surface of the fractal where you click.

32 - Simple Multi-Parameter Easing Animation.frag

How-To create a Parameter Morph Animation

These settings can be saved by using "Range" in the preset name like "#preset Range-100-200", the frame numbers have no impact on the easing curve values and are ignored, they are so the human can be reminded of what this range covers, allows for unique names like "Range-fogIn" "Range-fogOut" etc., these ranges can also be applied via fqScript eg: applyPresetByName("Range-fogIn")

These can be placed in the "Default" preset so that when a frag is loaded from cmdline eg:remote machine, they will be active immediately.

the items on each line are used as follows...

[Variable Name]:[Ease Name]:[Ease Type]:[start frame]:[end frame]:[begin parameter value]:[end parameter value]:[period]:[amplitude]:[overshoot]:[loops]:[pong]

yes yes a lot of silly things to remember but fortunately there's a nice little GUI for all that :)

load tutorial 32
Select the "Mandelbulb" tab
Select the "Power" slider
Push "F7" key (or menu item "Edit->Add Easing Curve")
Change some settings
hit OK that is it, done!

Frames before start frame will use start value until start frame is reached.

Frames after finish frame will use finish value until end of animation is reached.

These become active when the animation is playing.

When you do this to a variable that already has a curve you will be prompted "Apply" "Discard" "Cancel"

"Apply" will change these settings for this variable (like it, keep it)

"Discard" will delete the settings for this variable (clean up, no animating)

"Cancel" does nothing

This only saves the changes internally!!! if you like the result then...

you need to save parameters file or
add a new preset with a new name and save the GLSL script or
render a highres or anim to create "<frag-name>_Files"

this folder will have all of your var morph settings in a single default preset and campath keyframes

Parameter morph settings should all be in one named (not keyframe) preset.
