Which version of Godot is this skill compatible with?

This skill is specifically tailored for Godot 4.x and uses the modern .gdshader syntax and built-in variables.

Are the generated shaders editable in the Godot Inspector?

Absolutely. The skill uses uniform hints like hint_range and source_color so that parameters appear as sliders and color pickers in the Godot editor.

Does it include post-processing effects?

Yes, it provides patterns for screen-space shaders like CRT distortion, vignettes, and chromatic aberration that can be applied to ColorRect nodes.

Can I generate both 2D and 3D shaders?

Yes, it supports all major Godot shader types including canvas_item for 2D, spatial for 3D, and particle shaders for GPU effects.

Game Development

Develops high-performance Godot 4.x shaders for 2D effects, 3D materials, particle systems, and post-processing.

About

The Godot Shader Skill provides a comprehensive framework for generating optimized .gdshader files specifically for the Godot 4.x engine. It enables developers to quickly implement complex visual effects across various shader types, including canvas_item, spatial, particles, and sky. By utilizing expert patterns for common requirements like dissolves, outlines, triplanar mapping, and screen-space distortions, this skill ensures that generated code is not only visually impressive but also follows performance best practices and provides user-friendly handles within the Godot Inspector via uniform hints.

Key Features
