Shader Maker

Shader Maker is a simple, cross-platform GLSL editor. It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It provides the basic functionalities of a shader editor, such that students can get started with writing their own shaders as quickly as possible.

Supported Features

• Editors for vertex, fragment, and, optionally, geometry shader.
• Uniforms/attributes inspector (preliminary for the moment).
• Pre-defined uniforms for projection matrix, model-view matrix, time in ms since program start, bounding-box minimum and maximum.
• Pre-defined attributes for vertex locations and normals.
• Pre-defined geometries (plane, cube, sphere, torus, and teapot).
• Simple OBJ loader.
• texture loader.
• Changing OpenGL settings (background color, clear bits, alpha blending, backface culling, depth test, stencil test).

Future Work

• uniforms editor
• UV coordinates as attribute
• using textures as input
• usage of custom uniform/attribute names
• custom attributes

Prerequisites

• Qt 5+

Files

• README
• Windows x64 executable (Qt-DLLs included)
• macOS executable (Intel, macOS 10.12+)
