Help! I've talked someone into being curious about (fragment) shader-ing ala shadertoy, but I can't find a decent node-based GUI for shader editing that has decent ergonomics but is also close enough to GLSL structurally to allow shadertoy-like mathy exploration.
So far everything I've seen fails in a significant way on either of these:
- Blender: separate "Math" and "Vector Math" nodes. "Math" node with drop-down instead of granular primitives
- Godot: "Function" node with drop-down instead of granular primitives
- Unity: uh ... i just don't want to do this to them i think
- cables.gl: no vector types at all??? setup a bit elaborate
- https://victhorlopez.github.io/editor/ closest so far; polymorphic functions but doesn't auto-cast values; UX a bit underdone
...surely there would be a web tool for this given the popularity of SDFs etc??? -

@ruby0x1 I also tend to shy away from things where there is the appearance of a major time investment developing a set of skills that I would have to pay rent on. So for example, I learned Blender geometry nodes instead of learning Houdini despite being under the impression that Houdini is probably the superior procgen tool. Like wise I've spent the better part of year reinventing audio from first principles instead of buying Reaper or whatever.

@ruby0x1 in the absence of being accidentally embedded in an enthusiastic community, I tend to be very sparing about taking up new tools at all, and tend to limit myself to tools that are available under permissive open source licenses if the tool does something I'm convinced I would not enjoy implementing myself (eg I'm gonna probably use kissfft instead of implementing my own fft, whenever I next have a problem that is best solved with an fft)
-
@ruby0x1 so, what convinces me to simply try a game engine (as apposed to commit to being a long term user), if i'm being honest, is probably a mountain of peer pressure (and being able to try it out at all without having to slip into the golden handcuffs first)
Case study: I gave godot a try (briefly) last spring in part because two close friends had been using it for an indie project, and they convince me in a moment of weakness that it might be a good tool for some of my simpler ideas.

Apparently almost everyone who followed this link from Mastodon got a page load denial with Microsoft claiming we are scraping them. Pretty sure it's Microsoft who is scraping us.

Aww yeah! New Hardcore History episode! It's like getting a new ASOIAF novel.

I find the name "Trump Memorial Centre for the Arts" kind of hopeful.
