This is the second blog post describing enhancements for visual shaders and shader scripts landed in Godot 3.2. Since the previous update, I've (Chaosus) spent much time and effort adding a lot of new things to enhance the overall experience developing shaders. Shader changes. First, let's have a look at shader scripts.

Godot shader language is one of the easiest ones to use of any engine. Letting visual shaders aside, the shading language is a very tidy and self-contained version of GLSL ES 3.0, Shaders can take take inputs, modify them and produce outputs. Shaders can take take inputs, modify them and produce outputs. Simple, right?

Hello, so my issue is such, I have made a shader that causes a UV distortion in the fragment shader, to simulate “flame-like” effects at the edges. There are two variants of these shaders, one where the distortion is dependent on cc_time[0] i.e the time elapsed in seconds when a game is running. 1.0 - newUV.x), min(newUV.y,
