GLSL shader techniques for ray marching, fluid simulation, particle systems, and procedural generation.
What is shader-dev?
A curated collection of GLSL shader techniques for creating hero visuals and motion stills. Use this skill when you need to implement ray marching, fluid simulations, particle effects, or procedurally generated visuals in your projects.
- Ray marching techniques for volumetric and distance field rendering
- Fluid simulation shaders for dynamic liquid and gas effects
- Particle system implementations for motion and effects
- Procedural generation methods for textures and geometry
- Optimized GLSL code patterns for real-time rendering
