Minko ShaderLab: Waves Simulation On The GPU

New Minko ShaderLab preview.

Become a beta tester now!

The ShaderLab is a web application providing a visual programming environment to create, test and share hardware accelerated rendering effects or “shaders”. It benefits from Minko’s optimized JIT compiler to create high speed and lightweight shaders.

Video shows:

• live 3D preview (0:09)
• sound spectrum analyzer for animations based on sound (0:20)
• extraction of floating point values components (0:50)
• user friendly value items such as color pickers (1:07)
• customizable GPU states for blending, depth test, etc… (1:20)
• powerful enough to create fully hardware accelerated particle engines without code (1:25)
• custom maths functions with rich curve editors (1:37)
• display compiled shader bytecode for educational purposes (1:52)
• load and save files from the Aerys online cloud storage (1:55)
• group operations to create high level functions (2:50)
• bitmap textures (3:18)
• change preview 3D model (3:35)
• create texture animations (3:52)
• support for multiple textures (4:05)
