Shadertoys

DCTL shader fuses for use within Fusion and/or DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page (aka "DaFusion"). These are based on WebGL shaders released on Shadertoy.com with a license that allows for porting (see each Fuse's source code for the respective license information); please note that neither we are related to Shadertoy.com, nor is this an official Shadertoy.com repository; but we are obviously and definitely huge fans of this amazing website!

Furthermore must be mentioned that this repository is only an incubator to develop such fuses and to exchange on experiences, approaches and solutions. If you are searching for production ready extensions to really use for your day to day work, then the Reactor is the right and de facto go to place for you. As soon as an implementation in this repo achieves an appropriate maturity we will suggest it for inclusion into the Reactor - thereby Reactor is the one and only source for the outcomes and stable versions of our experiments. You should find the stable Fuses in Reactor under the same name but without any of the annoying 'ST_', 'BETA_', whatsoever prefixes.

Background

This code is mainly based on the work of Chris Ridings and his Guide to Writing Fuses for Resolve/fusion and the FragmentShader.fuse from his Davinci Resolve Page Curl Transition article; Bryan Ray, who did a whole series of blog posts on OpenCL Fuses; JiPi, who did an excellent post on how to Convert a Shadertoy WebGL Code to DCTL accompanied by a (German) DCTL Tutorial video. As an introduction and if you want to know more about shaders in general, a look into The Book of Shaders is highly recommended. Again the We Suck Less forum is the place where you will find tons of information and all the experts. And last but not least are all these fuses based on work shared by those wonderful people on Shadertoy.com.

Installation

Repository

Just clone the whole repository into a folder where it can reside. Drag'n'drop the Tools/Setup.lua onto your DaFusions working area. Select 'Uses Fuses under Shaders': See the Tools/README.md for further information.

ZIP-File

Find on GitHub Pages the Links to download the full .tar.gz or .zip archive. After unpacking you can again copy the whole Shaders/folder into you Fuses directory or keep only single .fuse files.

Fuse-Installers

You can drag'n'drop the *-Installer.lua files (which you find in the repo or the ZIP archive) into your Fusion working area to copy the corresponding fuse into the appropriate path. These Installers are currently under construction and not available for all fuses.

Usage

In the Fusion page of DaVinci Resolve right click into the working area. In the context menu under 'Add tool' you'll find a 'Shadertoys/' submenu. That submenu corresponds to the repository's directory structure and provides access to all fuses installed.

Alternatively you can open the 'Select Tool' dialog (Shift+Space Bar) and start typing "ST-" to filter for all our shadertoy fuses.

Fuses

Okay, so far there's not much here, which of course seems a bit silly after that long and thorough introduction ... but hey: it's a start.

See Shaders/ for a list of all shaders implemented so far - resp. the Overview to have with thumbnails a more 'visual experience'. In particular you may want to have a look at WorkInProgress/ to see what's coming next!
