Shader x Node is a WWDC19 Scholarship Application Project. > Write amazing shaders with your creativity and ingenuity (and without any coding skill because drag'n'drop saves the day!) Hi, are you interested in graphics related stuff, like visual effects in Hollywood, AAA game development and video jockey? If so, then you must be wondering how do people achieve these great effects! The answer is shader, which is a type of computer program that can do literally everything now, from simple graphics to powering autonomous driving. Today we are going to use this app to build a music visualization shader using my shader node editor, which is a visual scripting system I wrote in Swift.
