Hi Product Hunt! I’m back with a major update - DASCA v1.1.1. DASCA is a desktop app for 2D, 3D, and video creation. It lets you build complex looks using shader-based effect chains with real-time previews. The biggest addition in v1.1.1 is Playground. A full real-time GLSL development environment built directly into DASCA. With Playground you can: Write and edit shaders live Control uniforms instantly with sliders Animate everything using a powerful keyframe timeline with advanced curve support It basically turns DASCA into both a production tool and a shader playground at the same time. I’ve also added many new effects based on creator feedback and continue to ship updates frequently. I’ll be here all day answering questions. If you’re into shaders, motion design, or visual experimentation. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

@tapdig Cool tool! Looks like something I'd actually use for social content without the usual headache. Can you share an example of a glitch effect made with it?

Effect Chain is here

Our most important new feature in this update. Stack multiple effects into a single pipeline, reorder them anytime, and reuse your favorite combinations. We ve also revamped presets - you can now export them as JSON files and import them back anytime, which makes it easy to share your favorite effect combinations with friends. On top of that, I recommend trying our new effects: Feedback Distortion and Split Scan.
