A shader inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass design language.

It renders a squircle with a shader that approximates a signed distance field to
emulate refraction. With some blur, noise and a bit of glow, it ends up looking
somewhat like glass.

Building

Make sure to recursively initialize submodules. Either clone with:

shCopy
git clone https://github.com/OverShifted/LiquidGlass --recursive

or run

shCopy
git submodule update --init --recursive

after cloning normally.

Then you just need to build the CMake project by running ./build.sh, or executing these commands:

shCopy
cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
