Surface Explorer 4D

A high-performance 4D surface visualizer built with Qt6 and modern OpenGL.

Surface Explorer 4D is an advanced interactive tool designed to visualize, animate, and explore complex mathematical surfaces in 3D and 4D spaces ($x, y, z, p$). Built for researchers, artists, and math enthusiasts, it leverages modern GPU hardware to render real-time parametric geometries with high precision.

🚀 Key Features

• 4D Spatial Exploration: Native support for four-dimensional coordinate systems with dedicated 4D rotation and projection controls.
• Modern Rendering Engine: Powered by OpenGL 4.6 (Core Profile) on Windows/Linux and OpenGL 4.1 on macOS for maximum hardware compatibility.
• Dynamic GLSL Scripting: Integrated engine to write custom shaders for procedural textures and surface logic on the fly.
• Cross-Platform Excellence: Optimized for Fedora Linux (Wayland/AMD), Windows 10/11, and macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon) with full High-DPI scaling support.
• Audio-Visual Sync: Dynamic sound synthesis and music integration (FFmpeg powered) mapped to geometric parameters.

💻 System Requirements

• OS: Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu), Windows 10/11, or macOS 12.0+.
• Graphics: GPU with OpenGL 4.6 support (Win/Lin) or OpenGL 4.1 (Mac).
• Framework: Qt 6.10.2 or higher.
