I've experienced problems exporting for mac. Os Once it finish, the result is a pck.tmp or a zip.tmp. The file cannot be open, and godot close abruptly. I've tried the following version both in standard and mono: 3.1.2 3.2.1 3.2.2 beta. Now i want to write down a list of advices that should be. Spatial shaders¶. Spatial shaders are used for shading 3D objects. They are the most complex type of shader Godot offers. Spatial shaders are highly configurable with different render modes and different rendering options (e.g. Subsurface Scattering, Transmission, Ambient Occlusion, Rim lighting etc). CanvasItem shaders are used to draw all 2D elements in Godot. These include all nodes that inherit from CanvasItems, and all GUI elements. CanvasItem shaders contain less built-in variables and functionality than Spatial shaders, but they maintain the same basic structure with vertex, fragment, and light processor functions.

As part of the construction of this book and my art practice I made an ecosystem of tools to create, display, share and curate shaders. These tools work consistently across Linux, MacOS, Windows and Raspberry Pi and browsers without the need of changing your code.

Running your shaders on the browser

Display: all live examples in this book are displayed using glslCanvas which makes the process of running standalone shader incredible easy.

As you can see, it just needs a canvas element with class='glslCanvas' and the url to your shader in the data-fragment-url. Learn more about it here.

If you are like me, you will probably want to run shaders directly from the console, in that case you should check out glslViewer. This application allows you to incorporate shaders into your bash scripts or unix pipelines and use it in a similar way to ImageMagick. Also glslViewer is a great way to compile shaders on your Raspberry Pi, which is the reason openFrame.io uses it to display shader artwork. Learn more about this application here.

Create: in order to illuminate the experience of coding shaders I made an online editor called glslEditor. This editor is embedded on the book's live examples, it brings a series of handy widgets to make more tangible the abstract experience of working with glsl code. You can also run it as a standalone web application from editor.thebookofshaders.com/. Learn more about it here.

If you prefer to work offline using SublimeText you can install this package for glslViewer. Learn more about it here.

Share: the online editor (editor.thebookofshaders.com/) can share your shaders! Both the embedded and standalone version have an export button where you can get an unique URL's to your shader. Also it has the ability to export directly to an openFrame.io.

Curate: Sharing your code is the beginning of you sharing your shader as artwork! Beside the option to export to openFrame.io I made a tool to curate your shaders into a gallery that can be embedded on any site, it's name is glslGallery. Learn more here.

Running your shaders on your favorite framework

In case you already have experience programming in a framework like: Processing, Three.js or OpenFrameworks, you're probably excited to try shaders on these platforms you feel comfortable with. The following are examples of how to set shaders in some popular frameworks with the same uniforms that we are going to use throughout this book. (In the GitHub repository for this chapter, you'll find the full source code for these three frameworks.)

In Three.js

The brilliant and very humble Ricardo Cabello (aka MrDoob ) has been developing along with other contributors probably one of the most famous frameworks for WebGL, called Three.js. You will find a lot of examples, tutorials and books that teach you how to use this JavaScript library to make cool 3D graphics.

Below is an example of the HTML and JS you need to get started with shaders in three.js. Pay attention to the id='fragmentShader' script, here is where you can copy the shaders you find in this book.

In Processing

Started by Ben Fry and Casey Reas in 2001, Processing is an extraordinarily simple and powerful environment in which to take your first steps in code (it was for me at least). Andres Colubri has made important updates to the openGL and video in Processing, making it easier than ever to use and play with GLSL shaders in this friendly environment. Processing will search for the shader named 'shader.frag' in the data folder of the sketch. Be sure to copy the examples you find here into that folder and rename the file.

In order for the shader to work on versions previous to 2.1, you need to add the following line at the beginning of your shader: #define PROCESSING_COLOR_SHADER. So that it looks like this:

In openFrameworks

Everybody has a place where they feel comfortable, in my case, that's still the openFrameworks community. This C++ framework wraps around OpenGL and other open source C++ libraries. In many ways it's very similar to Processing, but with the obvious complications of dealing with C++ compilers. In the same way as Processing, openFrameworks will search for your shader files in the data folder, so don't forget to copy the .frag files you want to use and change the name when you load them.

If you want to use the full set of uniforms contain on the specs of GlslViewer and GlslCanvas in a more simple way on OpenFrameworks I recomend using the ofxShader addon which will also have support for multiple buffers, material shaders, hotreload and automatic conversion for OpenGL ES in the Raspberry Pi. And your code will be as simple as doing

In Blender

GlslTexture is an addon that allows you to programatically generate textures using GLSL Shaders and is fully compatible with the rest of the sandboxes on this chapter. How it works:

Godot Shader Doc

1. Operator Search: F3 (or SpaceBar depending on your setup). Type GlslTexture

1. Change width and height size and Source file (which can be a path to an external file).

Godot Shader Time

1. Use the Image on your materials. The Image name will be based on the name of the source file.

1. Go to the Text Editor (or an external editor if your source file is external) and edit the shader. It will hot reload.
