NodeToy
A web-based node editor for creating, sharing, and using shader graphs.
What it is
NodeToy is a browser-based shader editor. It provides a node graph for creating materials, a scene editor, custom shader expressions, and sharing or forking of published graphs.
Why it is selected
It bridges visual experimentation and web implementation: its material workflow is built for Three.js and React Three Fiber, while custom expressions leave room for shader code when nodes are not enough.
Who it suits
Creative developers and 3D web teams working with shaders, Three.js, or React Three Fiber.
Useful for
- Testing a material graph before integration
- Forking a published shader experiment
- Combining node-based work with custom shader code
