Shader Toy – Parameters and Annotations

February 5th, 2010 | 4 comments

Yesterday I started work on getting parameters and annotations from the shader in the hopes of eventually generating a UI with which one can modify them. Annotations will be used much like other shader apps giving hints to the UI such as min/max values, UI types, and other things.

So far it’s coming along, slowly but surely. Hopefully this weekend I can get the parameter editing up and running. Until then, watch this demo showing the list of parameters and annotations building as I type. :)

    No plans at this point. Right now this is just for my learning and playing.

    Coming along, parameter editing isn’t too bad once you work out what the relevant C# type is, writing these sort of tools makes me wish more people would use HLSL semantics ;-)

    I already have the type figured out (that’s how I resolve the values in the video above). The hard part is taking that information and generating UI programmatically. Or rather, tedious. Not necessarily hard. :)
