Hi everyone, we've added a new ISF tag to the forums, specifically for embedding shaders from https://editor.isf.video/.

If you want to share an ISF file you created, all you have to do is upload it to that web site (you'll have to create an account to save it). Then get the last part of the URL, which is an alphanumeric identifier, and put it in an [isf] tag in your post.

For example, if the URL is https://editor.isf.video/shaders/5e7a80 ... 18206deaaf, then put this in your post here: It will look like this:


Once it's loaded, if you click on the tab on the right side, you can adjust all the parameters in real-time.

Let us know how it goes for you. We hope to see some great shaders!

It would be interesting to have a shader colab thread where folks can adapt or add to a simple shader ultimately making it complex and sophisticated. Anyway, here's an extensively vibe coded (hating that term now) shader that Claude mostly did (not in Magic).

That's a nice one. I guess the main issue is that ISF (and GLSL in general) doesn't support text input directly. So the efficient way to do it is to have an input image which is a grid of characters. If you wanted to animate the characters, you could have an input video instead of an image. But then the animation would be baked in. And you'd still have to pass the desired text string as an array of character values. I don’t know if there’s a better way though.
