One of the recurring themes in learning GLSL is encountering pieces of code that seem completely unnecessary. You learn about vectors. You learn about coordinates. You start reading examples from The Book

Most people think shaders begin with shapes, or light, or noise. But they don’t. They begin with a line, and what you choose to do with distance along that line. This code, pulled from The Book of Shaders,

Lesson: 8 There’s something strangely alive about this kind of shader. Nothing moves, nothing is drawn in the traditional sense, yet the screen never stays the same. It quietly shifts between two colors,

Color in GLSL is one of the first things that makes shader programming feel alive. You go from abstract math to something visible, expressive, and instantly creative. At its core, GLSL color is surprisingly

UV coordinates are one of the most fundamental ideas in GLSL, yet they are often misunderstood when you first start working with shaders. At their core, UVs are simply a way to describe position inside

One question almost every shader beginner asks is whether vector components such as .r, .g, .b, .x, .y, and .z are fixed values or special constants. The short answer is no. They are simply labels used

When most people start learning shaders, textures seem straightforward. They are images made up of pixels. But in GLSL, textures are much more than images. They are data containers, and understanding how

This is the fourth post in the GlSL learning series. Learning GLSL as a Beginner Understanding gl-Position: My First Real Vertex Shader Fragment Shaders Made Simple: What gl-FragColor Does What This Shader

This is a fragment shader written in GLSL (used in WebGL / Three.js / TouchDesigner-style pipelines). This is the 3rd post in the GlSL learning series. Learning GLSL as a Beginner Understanding gl-Position:

This is part 2 of learning about GlSL: This is a very common vertex shader, especially in libraries like Three.js. const vshader = ` void main() { gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(

Exploring vertex shaders, fragment shaders, and the foundations of computer graphics. As I begin learning GLSL, I am starting to understand how shader programs are structured and what happens behind the

There is a strange numbness that settles over a person after enough exposure to wars and propaganda. The headlines blur together, the outrage cycles repeat, and after a while it feels as though nothing

What has happened to me isn't a question I can answer in daylight. The night speaks, but it hasn't for a while now. The crucifixes lean over this city of no bother, and the dark hangs behind me without

We reached the airport, and she was very stressed, looking around. The signs, the gates, the crowd, all of it seemed too fast for her. I held her arm gently, told her it was simple, just follow me. She

Free from AI, this is what creativity still looks like, I know, no one is going to read, what I have to write so, I am starting this, a hefty word OpenGL, The OpenGL libraries are written in C and allows
