How It Works
Amazing, step-by-step tutorials teach you how to use our Windows®-desktop applications to design OpenGL workloads.
Create
Create a new workload with a GUI-based editor. Learn to write shader code.
Debug
Explore pixel values, read and set values in property sheets.
Export
Export workloads to prebuilt OpenGL runtimes for popular platforms.
Features
Easy Design Tools
Use a GUI-based tool to design and implement workloads. The GUI provides visual feedback, letting you see the results of changes immediately. You don’t have to write a single line of C++ code. Learn to use textures and uniforms to develop intuition about how OpenGL works.
Don’t Touch A Compiler
Ditch the compiler! You can learn fundamental OpenGL features without having to touch a C++ compiler. Build complete applications, including GPU compute, vertex and pixel shaders, and more.
Seamless Export
Export simple binary files to several popular platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi 3/4/5. Use the runtime to execute your workload.
Prebuilt Examples
Paid versions of Simdify include thousands of prebuilt examples show you exactly how to implement texture sampling, compute shaders that read/write images, along with shader buffers, uniform buffers, and readback.
No Magic Incantations
Which call goes where? How do I use extensions. When do you bind the program? When do you bind the buffer? When do you unbind it? Nope. Just build it and export it.
Customizable
The Simdify design application is scriptable. Includes 300K+ lines of high-quality script code. If you see a command, there is a 99% chance you have the full source for it. Don’t touch a C++ compiler to get work done.
World Class Documentation
Step-by-step tutorials that show you how to build, debug, and export shaders. Thousands of pages of API reference documentation. All commands and nodes are fully documented.
Affordable
Less than dinner out at a cool restaurant. Friendly licensing terms for individuals and businesses. No monthly vampire bites. Includes free updates for a year.
