shadersharing
Shadersharing is the practice of distributing, reusing, and collaboratively developing small programs called shaders that run on graphics hardware to produce real-time visual effects. Shaders are typically written in shading languages such as GLSL, HLSL, or Metal Shading Language and can include fragment (pixel) shaders, vertex shaders, or compute shaders. The core aim is to create, modify, and share visual techniques such as lighting, reflections, distortions, noise, and post-processing effects.
Online communities and platforms provide editor tools, live previews, and galleries where authors publish shader code
Licensing ranges from permissive open-source licenses to attribution-based terms, with many creators encouraging sharing to promote
Benefits include faster learning, community feedback, and a library of reusable techniques. Challenges involve cross-platform portability,
