ShaderGPT by 14islands is a creative AI-powered tool that allows users to generate custom WebGL shaders through natural language prompts. Designed for designers, developers, and creative coders, it leverages large language models to translate user input into GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) code that can be previewed live within the browser. The experience combines the experimental nature of generative AI with the technical precision of shader programming, providing a powerful playground for learning and real-time prototyping.
The interface offers a prompt field for describing visual effects (e.g., “a swirling purple vortex” or “glitchy RGB distortion”) and instantly produces shader code along with a real-time rendering. Users can iterate by tweaking the description or modifying the generated code. ShaderGPT is particularly useful for those experimenting with interactive graphics, digital art, or visual effects—whether you’re a seasoned WebGL developer or a designer exploring shaders without deep coding knowledge.
