Top 7 Rust Shader Projects

FastNoise

57 2,549 7.8 Rust

Fast Portable Noise Library - C# C++ C Java HLSL GLSL JavaScript Rust Go

Project mention: Using FastNoiseLite (or any GLSL library) in a shader. | /r/godot | 2023-07-07

If you go to the FastNoiseLite github you'll see there's a FastNoiseLite.glsl file, this file contains the entire library. So to use this in a shader we need to use the new shader #inlude preprocessor. In short, create a new ShaderInclude resource, paste the contents of the FastNoiseLite.glsl file into it and then simply #include it in your shader.

Toon Shader for the bevy game engine

Project mention: Unix-like OS in Rust inspired by xv6-riscv | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-25

If you like you can copy what I did: https://github.com/tbillington/bevy_toon_shader, which I copied from https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/ (just that my repo has was less stuff, so might be easier to copy from).

renderling

1 32 8.5 Rust

🍖 A configurable real-time renderer, backed by wgpu

Project mention: [MEDIA] My first renderer using wgpu | /r/rust_gamedev | 2023-05-16

I also have a similar project that's not done yet - renderling.

Thin DirectX wrappers for Rust.

Project mention: How to convert an enum to string in C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-30

https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/winresult/
Another project: thindx. Bindings for d3dcompiler + d3d9 + xinput have a lot of enums and flags:
• 50 results in 49 files for flags!: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMaulingMonkey%2Fthindx%20...
• 77 results in 69 files for enumish!: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMaulingMonkey%2Fthindx+en...
• I still do things by hand somtimes, for reasons that elude my recollection: https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/thindx/blob/127d75f9de91f73...
And these are baby numbers compared to an actual professional gamedev codebase. Attention to detail makes me fairly comfortable with this much hand-generated nonsense in my one man show, but bugs still crop up... and there are people I would dread handing maintainence of such a project over to that I've worked with in a professional capacity, who simply do not care to exercise the same level of care as I do when editing such stuff.
