Amazing transitions and filters using shaders, with user-friendly configurations.
Shadertastic is an OBS plugin designed to help you create custom filters and transitions, especially suited for streaming but adaptable for other media projects.
Other shader plugins exist. Why Shadertastic then?
Shadertastic has ease-of-use for the end-user as its main focus.
Every Shadertastic effect have a metadata file describing its parameters and their UI.
Shadertastic comes with built-in, basic shaders. But you can add your own or other third-party filters and transitions without updating the plugin.
You want to write your own effects? No need to write any C++. All you need is to write the shader, its description and parameters.
