What shader effects do you want?

Hi all,

Was hoping we could perhaps start a thread for shader requests, suggestions, etc. so that those of us who are considering writing custom shaders in OpenGL ES can get a sense for what the community needs/wants.

This is not a request list for Scirra developers but for community contributors - though I'm sure Ashley will find it informative as well.

So, what kinds of effects would you like?

Cheers!

Community suggestions list:

Neon Glow/Lightening

A neon glow/lightening.

Is it already doable with a configuration of the currently available effects ?

To be honest I haven't spent much time testing them out yet, I wish this list could also provide some "templates"/configurations.

Good thread idea !

Oh thanks for making this a sticky!

Neon Glow (with a flashing/static option) was one of the first things I was thinking of taking on.

I'll add a list to the first post as suggestions come in.

Thanks!

It's hard to get possible shader effects, but now there is a possible list of effects:

-Perspective

-Tunnel

-Relief Tunnel

-Square Tunnel

-Deform

-Monjori

-Star

-Twist

-Kaleidoscope

-Z Invert

-Fly

-Plasma

-Lens Flare

-Cross Fade

-Julia Fractal

-Flower

There is a website where you can get source codes.

Yeah Neon Glow. It might as well replace current Glow effect which sorta doesn't work very well, like compared to Classic one;

For me

Cartoon Shade

we can make simple desing and the cartoon shade make the black borders

and calculate the color degradations in the body of the objects.

Sorry by my English

Shadow Casting and Light Casting via webgl ;]

Blur effect.

Joannesalfa - I asked the authors of some of those effects on the ShaderToy for permission to include them in Construct 2. However some authors weren't happy with the fact their work was going to be included in commercial software, so didn't give permission for use. I think they could still be adapted by a third party developer though, as long as they distributed them for free.

I would really like to see something like the tunnel shaders or fly from the ShaderToy.

As Ashley said, the best option is to form a small team of shader experts, so that they can adapt current shaders to work with C2 and make a shader pack available for free

I'd like to see Tiled Warp shaders. That is, shaders where the texture isn't doing this stretching effect.

I would like to see:

Film grain overlays.

Vignette

Motion blurs

Thanks for doing this guys! Scirra Lords For Life!

Vignette is already there :)

Film grain overlays - you mean something different from current noise effect ?

with the 2d shadow effects, does that mostly work for top down games with 8 direction movement (Zelda style)?
