Introduction

Welcome to the unofficial Godot shader guide!

This guide is divided up into several chapters, each with several topics to help you learn the Godot shaders system. You can use the navbar at the top of the page to navigate the guide, and to skip ahead if you feel you understand the topic being discussed.

Each topic will have content (here, on the left side), and an interactive Godot shader editor on the right, where you can apply the content without having to leave your browser! Of course, you can also just read the content without trying to apply it, but that very often leads to a lack of understanding surrounding the topic, and it is highly recommended that you experiment and come up with new ideas. After all, shaders are all about experimentation!

Lastly, this guide is highly inspired by the Svelte tutorial.
