# Shadertastic
## User-friendly shader transitions and filters for OBS

Amazing transitions and filters using shaders, with user-friendly configurations.

Shadertastic is an OBS plugin designed to help you create custom filters and transitions, 
especially suited for streaming but adaptable for other media projects.

## Features
### User-Friendliness at its core
*Other shader plugins exist. Why Shadertastic then?*  
Shadertastic has ease-of-use for the end-user as its main focus.
Every Shadertastic effect have a metadata file describing its parameters and their UI.

### Easy Extensibility
Shadertastic comes with built-in, basic shaders. But you can **add your own** or other third-party filters and transitions without updating the plugin.

You want to write your own effects? No need to write any C++. All you need is to write the shader, its description and parameters.
