Shaders

• Add a Shader with the blue plus button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen
• Shaders are cool visual effects
• Shaders are small programs that run on the GPU that can manipulate the pixel fragments or vertices of a mesh (in other words, the color and the shape - see example above)
• You can use our ready-made, featured Shaders, grab one from the Frame Effect Library, or create your own

Create Your Own Shaders

Create Your Own Shaders

• feeling ambitious and just going right into the NME (Node Material Editor) and learning the heck out of it (this is not recommended)
• remixing an existing shader and modifying it to see how the Node Material Editor works (this is done in the video above)
• diving into some YouTube videos where Frame artist Paul Kluka walks us through the setup of some simple but effective shaders. Babylon.js also makes a a fantastic tutorial series on the Node Material Editor. This path is recommended for artists and developers who know or want to know their way around materials and meshes)
• contributing back to the community by adding a shader or two to the library!
