Exposing settings to change on the fly with shaders

[A]

Hey i'm guessing theres no way to expose settings as sliders or anything in ELM from shader files for example sensitivity

[Mathieu Lightjams]

Hi,

There's no way to change the name of the sliders but you can use the predefined ones in your shaders. For the sensitivity, you could for example use the force or force 2 variable. You rescale the value in the shader to fit what you need.

Thanks for that Matt, Does that include other variables like complexity, count, speed-ex?

Any chance we could get some more variables added into the next release of ELM?

I feel like with the advent of chatGPT helping to write shaders as a community we could start making some really cool stuff, I've been adding a few to shadertoy.com and tagging them ELM, if anyone else fancies doing the same?

Regards

George

I agree George!

These shader options are a very powerful tool especially with them being audio reactive. I think ELM should double down on this and even consider hosting files for the community to exchange. It gives them a great edge in the market!
