A tool for experimenting with WGSL shaders, it uses wgpu for rendering, egui for the UI and winit for windowing :-)

Current Features

• Hot shader reloading

• Multi-pass, atomics etc

• Interactive parameter adjustment, ez media imports through egui

• Easily use HDR textures, videos/webcam via UI

• Audio/Visual synchronization: Spectrum and BPM detection

• Real-time audio synthesis: Generate music directly from wgsl shaders

• Export HQ frames via egui

Current look

Keys

• F full screen/minimal screen, H hide egui

Usage

• If you want to try your own shaders, check out the usage.md and see BUILD.md.
• Optional Media Support: GStreamer dependencies are optional - use --no-default-features for lightweight builds with pure GPU compute shaders.
• When using cuneus as a dependency (via cargo add):

  • Add bytemuck = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] } to dependencies (derive macros can't be re-exported)

  • Copy build.rs to your project root to configure GStreamer paths (only needed for media features)

  • then simply use use cuneus::prelude::*;

Run examples

• cargo run --release --example *file*

• Or download on the releases
