Usage

apply_shader.console.exe cmd.json

Important

  • Shader should be in Godot 4 Shading Language
  • If transparent is true, output should be .mkv
  • If no ffmpeg_output provided, it will skip the video making, only will render frames
  • export_folder must exists and should be empty
  • uniform i is reserved for shader progress

	}
}

Uniforms

  • Arrays will be casted into corresponding Vectors
  • Strings will be casted into textures
  • floats and ints same

Shader example

shader_type canvas_item;

uniform float i : hint_range(0.0, 1.0);

uniform sampler2D image_a;
uniform sampler2D image_b;

float EaseInOutSine(float x)
{ 
    return -(cos(PI * x) - 1.0) / 2.0;
}

void fragment() {
	float t = i;
	//t = sin(TIME * 2.) / 2.0 + 0.5;
	//t = fract(TIME);
	t = EaseInOutSine(t);
	
	vec2 st = UV;
	st.x += t;
	vec4 a = texture(image_a, st);
	st = UV;
	st.x += t - 1.;
	vec4 b = texture(image_b, st);
	
	COLOR = step(UV.x, 1.0 - t) * a + (1.0 - step(UV.x, 1.0 - t)) * b;
