There are many tutorials to learn GLSL, Cg, HLSL... with classical samples as bump mapping, toon-shading...

But is there a shaders directory?

  • a website where i can share my shaders
  • search shader by name, description and implementation

Maybe with WebGL there will be – Jonathan Fischoff Aug 14 '10 at 5:29
Someone should get on this. :) – Vaughan Hilts Mar 6 at 6:38

Maybe NVIDIA Shader library can help you, but it's not large shader library.

While not a website, the ShaderX series of books (7 at present) is a good reference about common shader effects.

Some are available for free download at http://tog.acm.org/resources/shaderx/

Yup; there's definitely not enough of these! In addition to the above, the samples that come with RenderMonkey have definitely been helpful for me.

There are are few online locations that allow you to visualize on the fly the shader you're typing ; they often based on WebGL.
One of them is called the "Shader Toy" (http://www.iquilezles.org/apps/shadertoy/).
An other one is called the "GLSL Sandbox" (http://glsl.heroku.com/), and it seems that you can save and share your creations there (I am not 100% sure however).
