Shader Recipes
4 topicsCreative shader projects that teach unique GLSL techniques. Each recipe combines vertex and fragment shaders to produce a complete visual effect -- from stormy oceans to holographic projections to procedural galaxies and terrain.
Raging Sea
Build a stormy ocean with vertex displacement. Layer sine waves for realistic water, color valleys deep blue and peaks foamy white.
Hologram Effect
Create a sci-fi holographic projection with fresnel glow, animated scan lines, and glitch flickering on any 3D shape.
Galaxy Generator
Procedurally generate a spiral galaxy from thousands of particles using polar coordinates, spiral arms, and per-particle coloring.
Procedural Terrain
Sculpt mountains from math. Stack layers of noise (octaves) in a vertex shader to create realistic terrain with snow-capped peaks.
