Now that Skiko has bindings to enable shader-based render effects, this is another glimpse of what that enables to do. Here is a combination of blur, drop shadows, gradients and noise texture, all with a single composite shader applied on top of the Canvas composable.

this is really, really cool @Kirill Grouchnikov! nice work mate

every time you post your shader examples my eyes light up 🤩

[Kebbin]

Yes, it's really pushing boundaries of awesome appearance and presentation!
That sample pic has amazing effects!

[Kebbin]

Mate, the more I look at that pic, the more I love it! All the effects, the colours, the bleed, the frosting, the sharpness...
It's pure art!

does this work on android?

[Filip Wiesner]

I think that custom shader support is coming to Android 13 but not sure

I've listened to the latest ADB podcast episode about this but I understood only maybe 5% of the conversation because I know nothing about graphics or shaders 😅

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

It's not going to be a 1-to-1 mapping since the API surface of https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/RuntimeShader is slightly different than that of Skia itself that is exposed more directly in Skiko. The concepts are the same, since it's Skia underneath in both cases though.
