ShaderRenderer

Generic shader renderer

ShaderRenderer is based on CanvasRenderer and uses two canvas layers: one for video stream and another to render 3D scene on top of it. Video is rendered by WebGL shaders, this allows to apply complex computationally demanding post-processing effects to the input stream. For example, simple mono-chrome or sepia effects, or more complex face beatification and dynamic geometry filters. Shader effects can be encapsulated in a form of plugins. Plugins are levels of abstraction allowing to single out ready-made helpers that are used as atomic building blocks.
