@stroughtonsmith at the start I thought you were going for something like a desktop Tinkercad or Shapr 3D, I would use that

@stroughtonsmith You might have to get used to the idea of making stuff just for fun again

@stroughtonsmith It could be a scene blocking app. Attaching a material tag to each color which can be passed along to an AI generator with adherence instructions.
Currently > Reference Photograph > FSpy > Blender > Workbench Render Image with separated colours > Gemini is a bit fiddly. But an AI friendly simple modeller could make this a lot easier.

While this raytracer may never become a finished app, there are certainly elements from it I intend to yoink for future projects — like the really neat toolbars that go around all the screen edges, they would fit into a complex pro app very nicely
@stroughtonsmith can one vibecode Cyberpunk 2077 with pathtracing? i wonder

@stroughtonsmith you have the makings of a fine screensaver.

@stroughtonsmith make it a polished Storyboarder. It was great tool but hasn’t been supported in a while https://wonderunit.com/storyboarder

I made my control groups collapsible, with a priority system. Honestly they're my favorite part of this prototype

@stroughtonsmith put it in the about screen for all your apps of course! Hi @jamesthomson.

The old viewport gizmo was faked in 2D, so I had it rewrite it in Metal and with a different projection, and now it's much better. I also added exponential decay to the orbit gesture so you can fling the camera around

Ha, cute, you can even fling the raytracer around
Also I added an expanded progress indicator

Hadn't tried the visionOS build, but it works too.
With a caveat.
visionOS is far more fragile to anything like 3D rendering. Saturating the GPU like this slows the compositor to a slideshow, and even got to a point where Metal was leaking out of the window into the OS and I was seeing squares of corrupted video memory in front of me until I got the equivalent to a SpringBoard crash.
Functionally, this could be a visionOS app.
Practically, no.
