Topic: how to get shaders
Where can I find new shaders for VDJ 2026? I’ve tried Shadertoy but couldn’t download them, and I still have some saved in a folder from the old version of VDJ. But I don't know how to transfer the files,

See here.

Shadertoy's been unaccessible from VDJ since October last year. They made some changes, creating a problem for VDJ to access the site.

In the thread, there are references to bundled shader packs that you can download.

Copying shaders from one computer to the other (assuming they're the same type of computer) is no different to copying any other kind of files from A to B.
 
I have shaders if you need some. Shot me an email
 
They need to have been compiled on the correct platform.

Thank you for this
700+ shaders, that should keep me busy playing (I mean testing) all afternoon ;-)

Have a great/busy weekend all
 
I've been working on an app to help with this. You can view it here: https://vdj-shader.streamlit.app/

It takes the shadertoy and converts it to a vdjshader file. I have only been able to test it on my M1 Macbook so can't verify whether it works correctly for Windows. I'm open to feedback to improve it though
 
Yes it works on Windows! After putting the generated file into the visualisations folder, the shader was at the bottom of the list. Clicking it did pop up a box saying it was compiled on another platform, but it converted when I clicked yes.

Thanks!
