How it works

Watch it, read it, copy it

1 · WatchA short video builds one effect from nothing, stage by stage, with the code and the picture side by side.
2 · ReadEach shader has a page that explains every step, what each parameter does, and what to try changing.
3 · CopyThe full Metal source is on the page, with a standalone version that compiles in your own project.
