Shade transforms your device into a professional node-based shader editor. Build stunning, connected shader graphs that render in real time You'll find full support for keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop, and documentation built right in Once you're done, export your shader out to Unity 3D or load it straight into Codea. Use them in your games, apps, or anything you make Put your finger on the glass and start creating FEATURES • Connection stacking: no need for explicit arithmetic nodes. Just plug multiple outputs into a single input. Tap to change how they're blended • Automatic swizzling: connect anything to anything. Shade will figure it out and swizzle your connection. Tap the little circle to re-wire the logic • Over 100 nodes for building your shaders, tap any node for help • Live physically-based render preview • Drag-and-drop images right into your graph • Full keyboard support • AR previews, including Face AR for building shaders right on your... face • Video tutorials}

This app is amazing, heck even bringing shaders to iPad is commendable on its own. The only grievance I carry is that the curvature node has a bug that causes the program to crash when plugged into diffuse

只能连线编辑,希望能有一个手动编辑代码的功能,我敢肯定,有这个功能后一定大卖。还有就是发热严重,掉电快

great tool; there's no contact info on the support link nor in app (at least i cant access it due to this bug) so im writing this here trying to open most shaders crashes the app in iOS 17

非常棒的App,就是发热量太大了,非常耗电,不过还是很喜欢这种轻便实用的工具,希望以后也能在Mac上体验到这款App。

This app is great. In theory and in some of it’s delivered features. I would love to use this app to develop shaders for my game while traveling. Be it water shaders or some Kind of Aura… Whatever. I started using this App today and it crashed twice. There was no way to report the crash with debug info. I just worked a lot with the mix nodes. Altogether about 40 nodes or so. My progress was completely lost sadly because there are no auto saves? Please make this more stable and maybe add nodes like fresnel like in Unity. Examples and more complex nodes would be awesome too! Thank you so much for the hard work. Have a nice day!

Hello, I just wanted to say that for me I need to pay... I can’t do anything without paying, not even make a new document. You make the app free, but for me I can’t make a shader document, if you see this, please read it.

After playing with this app for a while, it’s absolutely floored me. I never thought there would be a shader authoring experience this great on iOS, that both looks and feels native but also has just enough pro functionality to fit nicely into my 3D workflow. The ability to export to Unity and SceneKit materials are the killer feature for me, but the user experience in general is so intuitive, fun and rich that I’m starting to prefer using Shade to hand-authoring. Huge respect to the developers for taking on such a Herculean task and pulling it off so flawlessly. If I had a few more feature requests it would be exporting directly to Metal and/or Blender, but with the new export plugins and the already great GL/HLSL functionality, porting those shaders over manually isn’t too taxing. P.S. If that’s not good enough, unlike ever other remotely pro-usable app out there it doesn’t even require a monthly subscription. I appreciate the devs even more for not going full Adobe on us.

At first I thought it would be cool if I can make 3D models but NO We need to pay monthly or yearly expenses!?!?! You can make it all free by putting ads thus making it more better than it can be very famous more ads=more money so yea
