Shadertoy – conversion of a GLSL example.

Today I will show you how to convert a GLSL source code to Shadertoy source code. This tutorial will help you better understand the elements involved in shaders and the display interface. Let’s see what the source code written in GLSL looks like:

Shadertoy – notepad paper .

The Shadertoy website is a great tool to test your skill in writing shaders. This is my first try with this tool. See the source code I write to make a notepad paper example:

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
 
    vec2 uv = (fragCoord.xy) / iResolution.xy;
    vec2 auv=vec2(uv.x*iResolution.x/iResolution.y,uv.y);
 
    vec3 col=vec3(1.,1,.95);
    vec4 ink=vec4(0.,.8,.8,0.1);
    ink.rgb+=col*0.009;
 
    col=mix(col,ink.rgb,1.-clamp(64.+cos(auv.y*PI*64.)*64.,0.,1.));
 
    col=mix(col,ink.bar,clamp((.5+(distance(auv.x,0.1)*-90.)),0.,1.));
    vec4 tex=vec4(0.,0.,0.,1.);
    col=mix(col,vec3(0.1),clamp(tex.r*0.1,0.,1.));
 
    col*=clamp((1./inversesqrt(2.4-distance(vec2(0.5),uv))),0.,1.);
    fragColor = vec4(col,1.0);
}
