Shader Viewer

A live GLSL shader development environment that lets you:

• Write GLSL shaders and see instant updates
• Preview shaders on a 3D model
• Use shaders that are directly compatible with OpenGL engines

Controls

• WASD: Move camera
• Mouse: Look around
• Mouse wheel: Zoom
• ESC: Exit

Usage

1. Create/edit shaders in the shaders folder
2. Shaders are automatically reloaded when saved
3. See changes instantly in the viewer

Project Structure

• shaders/: GLSL shader files
  • default.vert: Vertex shader
  • default.frag: Fragment shader
• assets/: 3D models and textures
• src/: Source code
  • main.cpp: Application entry point
  • shader.cpp: Shader loading and hot-reloading
  • model.cpp: 3D model loading
  • camera.cpp: Camera controls

Building

1. Make sure you have CMake installed
2. Create a build directory: cmake -S . -B build
3. Build the project: cmake --build build
4. Run the executable in the build folder

Dependencies

• GLFW: Window creation and input handling
• GLAD: OpenGL function loading
• GLM: Math library
• tinyobjloader: OBJ file loading
