What problem does it solve?
Procedural shader development can be time-consuming and error-prone, requiring deep knowledge of GLSL, noise, SDF techniques, and animation uniforms; this Skill condenses best practices and reusable implementations so you can produce high-quality fragment shaders faster.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Reusable Patterns and Recipes: Ready implementations for SDF shapes, tiling, domain warping, Truchet tiles, and polar symmetry to compose complex visuals.
- Noise & Texture Tools: Perlin-like gradient noise, simplex noise, cellular/Voronoi, Worley variations, fBm, turbulence, ridged noise, and animated noise recipes for natural textures.
- Color & Animation Utilities: HSB/RGB conversion functions, gradient builders, animated hue/brightness controls, and guidance on using common uniforms for time, resolution, and input.
- Practical Applications: Use for ShaderToy, WebGL, Three.js fragment shaders, procedural textures (clouds, marble, wood), terrain heightmaps, fire/smoke effects, water caustics, and generative art.
Quick Start
Generate a GLSL fragment shader that renders an animated procedural cloud texture using fbm and simplex noise and is compatible with WebGL uniforms u_time and u_resolution.
