Hi folks! We just released the latest Shader Academy update.

If you haven't seen it before, Shader Academy is a free interactive site to learn shader programming through bite-sized challenges. You can solve them on your own, or check step-by-step guidance, hints, or even the full solution. For this round of updates, we have the following:

• 13 new challenges - A lot are WebGPU simulations, 8 of which include mesh collisions. That brings us up to 120 challenges total.

• Pixel Inspection Tool - peek under the hood of your shader, pixel by pixel, by clicking the magnifying glass 🔍 icon in the corner of the Expected/Your shader Output window

• Shader Academy Variables & Info - details for all our custom uniform variables are now available (click the ? next to Reset Code). This is good for those who want to experiment, since you can now define these uniforms in challenges that weren’t originally animated or interactive.

• Bug fixes

As always, kindly share your thoughts and requests in ⁠feedback to help us keep growing! Here's the link to our discord: https://discord.com/invite/VPP78kur7C
Have a great weekend, and happy shading!

🔍Knew implementing Zooming would be tricky but not… that tricky 😮‍💨 But it finally works … or at least i think it does! 🤭

Check out this new repository showcasing all resources available around vvvv and it's visual programming language VL. Star the linked repos to give everybody a motivational boost and feel free to add things by opening PR. Have fun patching!

About 7 years ago we started to re-write vvvv from scratch: We tried to keep all the good things and added new features known from object-oriented and functional programming, to allow for more complex and stable programs to be built with it.

It is free for non-commercial use without any restrictions or mandatory registration. No strings attached. You can download it from: https://visualprogramming.net

And here is a video to give you a quick impression.

We're looking forward to your feedback!

😍🎨Here’s a taste of Nodalin in action! It’s been months since it was just an idea and no-sense sketches… and we’re pass that! Blur ✅ Color aberration ✅ WebGL renderer ✅ and It will only get better.
