Join us for an immersive introduction to shader writing in vvvv using SDSL, an extension of HLSL. Tebjan, the main VL.Stride developer and an expert on the GPU pipeline considers SDSL as one of the most powerful shading languages in existence.

But before we dive into SDSL, Tebjan will provide you with a solid understanding of the graphics pipeline and the basics of shaders in vvvv generally. Building upon this foundation, we’ll explore ShaderFX, which generalizes the node-based material and visual effects editing approach. This hidden gem is found within the experimental section of the node browser. It allows you to seamlessly work with CPU and GPU data on the same canvas in real-time – vvvv style.

The workshop will focus on harnessing the power and flexibility of ShaderFX for modular shader development. Learn to write concise code snippets and leverage inheritance for building complex shader systems.
