Chaos Prime is the name Vortexia’s dashboard gives its Mandelbrot engine, the first look you see in the demo and one of the three included on the free plan. It draws the Mandelbrot set live on your graphics card every frame rather than playing back a clip. The music drives it in three ways: the bass makes the whole picture breathe in and out, each kick lands a quick punch that fades in about a fifth of a second, and the treble makes the colours more vivid, while the colours sweep round the whole wheel about every 20 seconds. You can steer it too: drag and scroll in the dashboard preview to dive toward any edge of the set, down to 100,000×, and the detail sharpens as you go. Whatever you are looking at is what your OBS Browser Source shows.
