AV SHADER VIEWER

AV Shader Viewer preview

Overview

AV Shader Viewer is a free desktop tool for browsing, editing and experimenting with Structure-compatible GLSL shaders without needing to load every change onto the hardware first.

Select a shader, inspect or modify its code, preview the result in OpenGL and manipulate the same F0, F1 and F2 parameters used by Structure.
