Shade

What is Shade?

Shade, a professional visual effects tool, transforms your iPhone or iPad into a powerful node-based shader editor. Designed with a carefully crafted touch-driven graph UI, Shade allows you to build stunning, connected shader graphs that render in real-time, providing a live, physically-based preview of your creations

Highlights

• Connection Stacking: Eliminate the need for explicit arithmetic nodes by seamlessly connecting multiple outputs to a single input, with the ability to tap and adjust the blending logic
• Automatic Swizzling: Connect any node to any other, and Shade will intelligently handle the necessary swizzling to ensure a smooth workflow
• Comprehensive Node Library: Access over 100 nodes to construct your shaders, with built-in documentation accessible by tapping on any node
• Drag-and-Drop Textures: Effortlessly incorporate images into your shader graphs by dragging and dropping them directly
• Keyboard Support: Enjoy full keyboard shortcuts for a streamlined, efficient editing experience
• AR Previews: Leverage Augmented Reality features, including Face AR, to preview your shaders in real-world environments
• Export Options: Once your shader is complete, export it directly to Unity 3D or load it into Codea to use in your games, apps, and other creative projects.
