Preface In the last article , Kylin shared how to add your own post-effect Shader in the custom render pipeline in Cocos Creator 3.8. However, based on the BlitScreen solution, we can only write the simplest post-effect Shader. Today Kylin will use Gaussian blur to demonstrate how to write a multi-pass post-effect shader.

JULY 13, 2018

After some weeks of work, the new visual shader editor is ready for testing! What is a visual shader editor? This editor allows creating shaders using nodes and connections, instead of typing code. It provides a simple and fool-proof way for those not confident in writing shader code to create complex shaders.
