What is Shader Craft?
Shader Craft is a professional-grade development skill designed for creators building high-performance visual effects. It provides a unified library of 36 ShaderToy-compatible GLSL techniques, ranging from fundamental 3D signed distance functions (SDFs) to complex fluid simulations and atmospheric scattering. By integrating this into Openclaw Skills, developers can quickly generate mathematically precise scenes, organic forms, and post-processing pipelines with full WebGL2 compatibility.
The skill emphasizes technical accuracy and performance, providing pre-optimized code structures for everything from procedural noise generation to physically-based rendering. It bridges the gap between creative vision and mathematical implementation, making it an essential asset for any developer working with real-time graphics and GPU-accelerated visualizations.
Shader Craft Use Cases
- Building photorealistic 3D scenes using ray marching and signed distance functions.
- Developing real-time simulations such as fire, smoke, fluid, and particle systems.
- Creating procedural landscapes, terrain, and atmospheric effects like Rayleigh scattering.
- Implementing advanced post-processing effects including bloom, chromatic aberration, and tone mapping.
- Generating procedural audio and music synthesizers directly within GLSL.
How Shader Craft Works
- The user invokes the skill with a specific visual request via the /shader-dev command.
- The system analyzes the request against the Technique Routing Table to identify necessary modules.
- Core implementation steps and code templates are retrieved from the techniques directory.
- Math derivations and advanced patterns are cross-referenced to ensure technical accuracy.
- The generated shader code is adapted for WebGL2, ensuring proper versioning, coordinate systems, and function ordering.
Shader Craft Setup
To use this skill within your environment, ensure you have the shader-dev directory initialized in your Openclaw Skills workspace.
# Usage syntax:
/shader-dev <your_visual_request>
# Example:
/shader-dev create a raymarched SDF scene with soft shadows and ACES tone mapping
