Project Description

The Shader Template Exporter is a collection of shader script snippets to be inserted into templates dynamically and exported to any given output directory. The exporter offers a Color Vision Deficiency Accessibility Shader as an example generic core and template.

The shader template exporter is designed to make it easier to use basic shaders in most game engines.

Implementation of the Shader Exporting

Shader exporting is similar to how static website generators work, take a template and operate on it depending on the context. By having a tag in the template file – something like // <% core_here %> – the exporter can place the core into the template where the user specifies.

The shader exporter will have a singular

Interface example:
/* template/Unity.hlsl */

// <% core_here %>

void main() {
	/* Shader code here! */
}
Core example:
/* cvd/core.hlsl */

float3 RGB_to_LMS(float3 rgb) ...
float3 LMS_to_RGB(float3 lms) ...

float3 Daltonize(float3 lms, int type) ...
Result from the generation:
/* gen/Unity_gen.hlsl */

float3 RGB_to_LMS(float3 rgb) ...
float3 LMS_to_RGB(float3 lms) ...

float3 Daltonize(float3 lms, int type) ...

void main() {
	/* Shader code here! */
}
