GLSL is a real programming language used by many of your favorite games and in new technologies such as WebGL. With GLSL Studio you can experiment with the examples and learn as you go.
With camera texture streaming you can create your own animated video filters and view the results instantly. Anything you point the camera at is run through your current program. Programming + Imagination = Fun!
GLSL Studio is a full OpenGL programming environment supporting both vertex and fragment shaders. Programs can be easily exported for use on any platform that supports OpenGL ES 2.0.
Native Code Editor
Native code editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, auto indentation, light/dark themes and custom keyboard.
Shader Input Management
Manage attributes, uniforms and varyings from an easy data driven iOS interface.
Vertex Data Generation
Generate vertex attribute data for your programs such as position, texture coordinates and normals with a variety of mappings and primitives.
3D Mesh File Import
Import positions, normals, texture coordinates and colors from various file formats (obj, ply, md2, dae, blend) via iTunes File Sharing.
Texture Management
Manage up to 8 unique textures including GL environment settings. Use images from your Photo Roll and realtime camera streaming.
Uniform Binding
Control your programs in real time by simply binding uniforms to various device features such as multi-touch, motion and screen dimensions.
Example Programs
Various examples are included from simple pixel shaders to fractals to 3D lighting. Examples can be cloned as a starting point for new programs.
Runtime Options
Choose either perspective or orthographic projection, animated or static rotation, Retina Display resolution (if available) and more.
Shader Export
Export your vertex and fragment shader source code at any point either via iTunes File Sharing or email attachment.
Vertex Data Export
Export vertex data as C static arrays for easy integration into outside projects. Use GLSL Studio as a portable 3D file converter!
