Desktop Shadertoy Update 0.4
Ғылым және технология
Shadertoy is an amazing platform that allows people to share their beautiful shader art creations seamlessly with anyone interested. However, for people like me, it's a bummer that it's a web app because there are many tools that we graphics programmers have in our tool-belt to debug and profile our graphical applications such as NSight and Renderdoc. This is why I created desktop-shadertoy, which allows you to open existing Shadertoy apps, but on the desktop!
In this video, I show off the new UI and features I added in this latest update.

This looks awesome, will definitely use this as I keep having problems with shadertoy in my browser with shaders not loading correctly

Yeah it's really useful for debugging purposes because you can use renderdoc and step through the code!

damn this is really cool!
cool
Looks great! Is the plan to eventually get it to work as a background for your monitor?

Haha, I get where you're coming from based on the name. I didn't think of that! That's not currently part of the plan. Like I said in the description (and the original video I made about it a few months ago) I created desktop-shadertoy in order to allow people to use existing tools for debugging shaders, such as renderdoc and nsight graphics.

You can already set Shadertoy shaders as your background on KDE using an extension

Hi Gabe! Your tool works great on my 3090, but it silently does nothing on my Thinkpad T570's with Intel 620 graphics. The shadertoy website works fine on them. Is there some logging or advice? With procmon I see it enumerates Vulkan, finds the Intel vulkan DLL and then exits. No error, no logfile, so I can't see what's wrong. Both are Windows 10 22H2, same as my PC with the 3090.

Hi tooob! Thanks for the detailed info, that's not common 😅 I use some widely supported but still relatively new vulkan features, which may necessitate a driver update for you Intel iGPU. When is the last time you updated your graphics driver on your laptop?

@@GabeRundlett The T570's are using 31.0.101.2114, which I installed to see if it fixed the issue. Before that it was 2111. ... So now I just went and found this version and installed it : 31.0.101.2127 (Feb 2024).. It claims to provide Vulkan 1.3 among other things. Your 0.4.2 EXE still just won't start. No window, no error, nothing. Maybe I should open an issue on your Github? The problem is it really doesn't matter a whole lot to me - I just wanted to compare how fast it ran versus the website on the T570's.

@@Tooob You absolutely can open an issue on GitHub with all this info, though I personally don't have any way to reproduce the issue at this point in time, so it may be tricky to fix. Regarding speed of the desktop vs website, they should be pretty similar because they are running the same GPU code. It's almost definitely GPU-limited, and so the desktop app won't make much of a difference.
You're doing god's work good sir
