• Show HN: Shadergarden: Create reloadable graphical pipelines with Lisp and GLSL
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Oct 2021

  Hey HN,

  Isaac Clayton again[0]! This summer I worked as an intern at tonari[1] where I developed algorithms for real-time 3D scene construction on the GPU. As a part of my research, I developed a library / tool for prototyping shader-based graphical pipelines on the GPU.

  Shadergarden[2] uses GLSL[3] for shaders, but introduces a lisp-like configuration language[4] for chaining shaders (and other transformations) into directed acyclic graphical pipelines.

  Hope you enjoy the write up, have a nice day!

  PS — If your browser automatically pauses videos, you might need to 'show video controls' to play some of the visualizations.

• Announcing Shadergraph, a tool for composing shader pipelines. Powered by GLSL, Lisp, and Rust

  I'm thrilled to share a project I've been working on over this summer. Shadergraph allows you to chain shaders together to create live-reloadable graphical pipelines. For lack of a better comparison, it's like a powerful version of Shadertoy that runs locally. If you'd like an introductory dive, I've written a blog post that walks through a couple of examples; if you'd like to give the source code a peek, it's freely available on GitHub.
