This repository provides GLSL node support for ComfyUI, enhancing workflows by enabling the integration of GLSL shaders through various nodes such as glslEditor and glslViewer. It allows users to leverage shader programming capabilities directly within their ComfyUI projects, facilitating advanced visual effects and manipulations.
- Supports a range of GLSL shader types, including basic types like
int,float, and vectors, enhancing versatility in shader creation. - Features a code editor for GLSL, allowing users to write and edit shader code directly within the interface, improving workflow efficiency.
- Integrates with the LYGIA Shader Library, enabling the use of external shader resources and simplifying the inclusion of complex shader functionalities.
Context
The GLSL Nodes for ComfyUI is an extension designed to integrate GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) shader capabilities into the ComfyUI environment. Its primary purpose is to provide users with tools that facilitate shader development and visualization, allowing for more intricate and visually compelling outputs in their projects.
Key Features & Benefits
This extension includes a variety of practical features that significantly enhance the shader development process. The glslEditor allows users to write and modify GLSL code directly within ComfyUI, streamlining the development process. Moreover, the inclusion of basic GLSL types and dynamic inputs for uniforms provides users with the flexibility to create and manage shaders efficiently.
Advanced Functionalities
The tool offers advanced capabilities such as support for multiple frame outputs and the ability to read multiple textures, which are essential for complex visual effects. Users can also utilize a variety of uniform types, including float and vector uniforms, which can be dynamically adjusted. Additionally, the integration with the LYGIA Shader Library allows for the resolution of shader includes, making it easier to manage complex shader dependencies.
Practical Benefits
By incorporating GLSL nodes into ComfyUI, users can significantly enhance their workflow and control over visual outputs. The ability to directly edit and visualize shaders within the user interface results in improved efficiency and quality of work, enabling creators to explore more elaborate visual effects without the need for external tools.
Credits/Acknowledgments
This extension builds upon the work of various contributors, including the original authors of the GLSL libraries it integrates with, such as GlslViewer and LYGIA Shader Library. The repository is open-source, allowing for community contributions and continuous improvement.
