Question 1

What is ShaderBot?

Accepted Answer

ShaderBot is a free online shader editor and Discord bot that lets you write, preview, and share GLSL/WGSL shaders. It compiles your code to animated GIFs and embeds them directly in Discord.

Question 2

How do I use the shader editor on Discord?

Accepted Answer

Add ShaderBot to your Discord server. Then use /shader, /shader-preset, or /shader-generate commands in any channel to create and share animated shaders instantly.

Question 3

Is the online shader editor free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ShaderBot offers a free tier with 5 compilations/day, access to all 1,200+ presets, and the full web shader editor. Pro plans unlock unlimited compilations and AI generation.

Question 4

What shader languages does ShaderBot support?

Accepted Answer

ShaderBot supports GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) and WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language). It uses standard GLSL uniforms including iTime, iResolution, and iChannel.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes. ShaderBot lets you export shaders to 16+ game engines including Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Bevy, and more — directly from the web editor.

Question 6

Can ShaderBot generate shaders with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use /shader-prompt on Discord or the AI tab in the web editor to describe what you want in plain text (e.g. "blue ocean waves with foam") and ShaderBot will generate the full GLSL code instantly. You can also use /shader-generate to pick shapes, colors and animations with no coding required.

Question 7

Yes. ShaderBot is fully compatible with Shadertoy-style GLSL shaders (iTime, iResolution, iChannel0–3 uniforms). Unlike Shadertoy, ShaderBot also offers Discord integration, animated GIF export, AI generation, 1,200+ preset library, and one-click game engine export to Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot and more — all for free.
