Shader Lab (Website)
Basement Studio released Shader Lab, a browser-based toolkit for stacking and animating visual shaders like CRT effects, dithering, and bloom.
What: Shader Lab is a graphical interface for developers and designers to build complex visual effects, featuring layer-based stacking, keyframe animation, and pre-built effects like barrel distortion and scanlines.
Deep dive
- Enables layering and animating of multiple visual effects in the browser.
- Provides control over parameters like opacity, hue, saturation, and specific filter intensities.
- Built-in effects include CRT scanlines, dithering, noise, flicker, bloom, and barrel distortion.
- Allows keyframe-based animation via an integrated timeline and properties panel.
Decoder
- Shader: A program that tells the GPU how to calculate the color and lighting of each pixel, often used to create complex visual effects in real-time.
- Dithering: A technique used in computer graphics to create the illusion of color depth or shading by using patterns of dots.
