Blender’s geometry nodes and shader nodes also work this way and are incredibly fun to just mess around in creating bonkers procedural textures/shaders/objects and seeing what comes out the other end. I very much liken it to a modular synth but for your eyes
In that case I should also mention that Blender is 100% free to use forever (free and open source software ftw!!) and that you can hardly throw a stone on YouTube without hitting a tutorial on how to use it.
And here’s one listing every shader node: https://youtu.be/cQ0qtcSymDI. Keep in mind that these can be combined with virtually no restrictions on what you can plug into what!
You do need a somewhat beefy computer for it to perform well, especially if you plan on using the fancier graphics features like raytracing (which I highly recommend – it’s a ton of fun to play around with)
I’m sold.

I cannot express how much this intrigues me

Here’s a video about how to make fractals using geometry nodes: https://youtu.be/N9Tnmbnl9Yw

I will look into this all. Thank you very much. My PC isn’t that good but it’ll chug along and maybe I can borrow a friend’s for some rtx fun.
Edit: also, my phone it 10x better than my laptop so if there’s any good android apps I’d be interested too.
