FRAX3D - Desktop Edition (v259)
================================

QUICK START (Windows)
  The installer lets you choose the Full App, the Player, or both:
    FRAX3D        (F3D icon)  -> the full app (musicians / VJs)
    FRAX3D Player (3DP icon)  -> the lightweight player (listeners)
  Launch either from its desktop shortcut. From this folder you can also run:
    Open-FRAX3D.cmd  /  Open-FRAX3D-Player.cmd

These open FRAX3D in its own window using Chrome or Edge (whichever you have),
with the GPU set up for best fractal performance. No installation, no internet
required after the first run.

FIRST RUN
  The very first launch spends a minute or two "Building shaders" while your
  GPU compiles the visualizer. This is cached, so every launch after is fast.

IF YOU SEE A BLACK SCREEN OR A WEBGL ERROR
  Run  Reset-FRAX3D.cmd  once to clear the shader cache, then open again.
  If it still fails, fully close Chrome/Edge and try once more.

MAC / LINUX
  There is no .cmd launcher, but the app still runs: open frax3d.html
  (or player.html) directly in Chrome or Edge.

WHAT'S IN THIS FOLDER
  frax3d.html              the full app
  player.html              the lightweight player
  Open-FRAX3D.cmd          launches the full app (Windows)
  Open-FRAX3D-Player.cmd   launches the player (Windows)
  Reset-FRAX3D.cmd         clears the GPU shader cache if needed
  sw.js, manifest, icons   support files - leave them next to the app
  tracks.json              the built-in music catalog

UPGRADING TO PRO
  Enter your Pro license key in the app's Help tab. It unlocks 4K export,
  higher frame rates and bitrates, keyframes, MIDI and clean VJ output, and
  removes the export watermark. The same install upgrades in place.
