Godot 4: Volumetric fog shader, part 1 (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hi everyone! We’ve already covered several shaders that simulate fog, but they were mostly side effects of technologies that aren’t primarily designed for fog. This time, we’ll finally create a true fog shader and take a look at what options Godot 4 offers for this type of effect.

Godot 4: Classic dithering shader (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hello, everyone! This is a continuation of the previous tutorial, in which we created a simple dithering effect that can be used to simulate, for example, low-quality film or interference in a TV signal on an old screen. And as I promised, this time we’ll finish the topic by programming a shader for classic dithering with a ...

Godot 4: Frequency distortion shader (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hello, everyone! The effect I’ll be creating in this video falls into the category of image distortion—that is, a simulation of an imperfect display or external interference. As we can see, this interference resembles frequency modulation of a signal and is based on a similar principle. So, let’s take a look at how this ...

Godot 4: Glass block shader (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hi everyone! This is the first video I’ve published in 2026, and since I wouldn’t like to start the new year with something extremely complicated, this tutorial will be easy and quick. We’ll show how we can simulate a view through something like small glass blocks using a shader whose code fits on a single line.

Godot 4: Wave transition shader (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hi everyone! There are only a few days left until the end of 2025, so I’ll release one more video tutorial this year. Once again, it will be a contribution to the category of scene transitions. And I would say that the rotating vertical tiles look quite impressive. So let’s go ahead and program it.

Godot 4: Digital glitch shader (tutorial) ( www.youtube.com )

Hi everyone! We’re almost at the end of the year - at least at the time of recording this video—which means we still have time for one more broken-screen effect. This time, it will be a simulation of an LCD monitor that has suffered some sort of internal malfunction or has something inside that cracked and damaged the ...
