WebGL shaders fill an octagon with a cloud texture. The vertex shader determines color location. The fragment shader prepares color for display.
The animated octagon vertex shader processes circle coordinates from the current vertex coordinates. The Animated Spotlight fragment shader processes circle coordinates from the current texture coordinates. Compare the difference in granularity between the two shaders. The fragment shader processes more often with more detail.
Simple Shaders: Learn WebGL Book 4
Learn the basics of WebGL shader programming withSimple Shaders: Learn WebGL Book 4. This book covers seven projects with unique shaders, in detail, providing an overview of GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), which is the shader language used for WebGL. See the following projects online
Spotlight Across Text, Radiating Colors, Cube Vertex Colors, Color Filters, Zoom Shader, Spotted Balloon Burstsand
Colors Fade. Most shaders activate as you swipe over the canvas. See various visual effects including color animation, zooming, color filters, a traveling spotlight and expanding mesh.
