[![Shader Binary Release](https://github.com/altunenes/cuneus/actions/workflows/release.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/altunenes/cuneus/actions/workflows/release.yaml) [![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/Cuneus.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/Cuneus)



A tool for experimenting with WGSL shaders, it uses `wgpu` for rendering, `egui` for the UI, `winit` for windowing, and `notify` for hot-reload. :-)

### Current Features

- Hot shader reloading

- Multi-pass, atomics etc

- Interactive parameter adjustment, ez Texture loading through egui

- Easily use your own videos as textures (thanks to the `gstreamer`)

- Audio/Visual synchronization: Spectrum and BPM detection via `gstreamer`

- Export HQ frames via egui

## Current look

  

    

  

## Keys

- `F` full screen/minimal screen, `H` hide egui

#### Usage

- If you want to try your own shaders, check out the [usage.md](usage.md).

#### Run examples

- `cargo run --release --bin *file*`

- Or download on the [releases](https://github.com/altunenes/cuneus/releases)

- Or, as the best method, use tui browser via ratatui (thanks to `davehorner`): 

    

     `cargo run --example tui_browser`
