Shaders are virtually missing from the documentation. I am posting this as a request for Cocos to have somebody on the team, a technical artist preferably, to write up the shaders documentation, with sample codes important. The section on shaders is incomplete, therefore its unusable. However there is a major issue.

One shader is used, only the sprite texture changes. On a smaller texture, the distortion is greater than on a larger texture. The HelloWorld texture has a size of 196 X 270. I scaled it up in the graphics editor to 400 x 554 and the distortion is barely noticeable. Do you need some tweaks or is this a bug?

Thank you so much for telling me how to find that component, but it’s too bad it’s not related to the original problem, which is the shader. ;-( It’s simply an error log caused by a missing asset in some component. Is there a difference between applying the material to the sprite and the label?

Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This can be partially achieved using a bindless resource model where all required resources are available directly from the shader code on GPU without explicit CPU-side bindings.
