Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixed a bug where exported Metal shader code failed to compile in Xcode with "use of undeclared identifier 'uniforms'". Shader parameters are now exported as named arguments in the shader signature.
Node labels are now reflected in generated variable names — label a node "Radius" and the exported code uses float radius throughout.
The inspector now shows the exact variable name for any selected node, making it easy to identify and edit parameters in exported code.
