name: pixijs-custom-rendering description: "Use for PixiJS v8 custom rendering: Shader.from, GlProgram/GpuProgram, UniformGroup typed uniforms, textures as resources, custom Filter, batchers, WebGL/WebGPU shader code." license: MIT

Use this for custom shaders, filters, uniforms, GPU resources, or renderer extensions.

Rules

• Build shaders with Shader.from({ gl, gpu, resources }) when supporting WebGL and WebGPU.
• Use GlProgram / GpuProgram for backend-specific code.
• Uniforms need explicit types in v8: new UniformGroup({ uTime: { value: 0, type: 'f32' } }).
• Textures are resources, not scalar uniforms. Pass texture/source/sampler resources at the shader resource level.
• Use Filter.from(...) for custom filter pipelines; use custom renderers/batchers only when filters or meshes are not enough.
• Keep shader code synchronized with renderer backend assumptions.

Common Fixes

• Old new Shader(...) shape: migrate to Shader.from options.
• Uniforms silently fail: wrap values with { value, type }.
• Texture uniform fails: move texture resources out of UniformGroup.
