Shader pipeline export
Universal Pipeline Export
You made something cool. How do you get the shader out?
A Noisedeck program is more than one shader. It is an orchestrated pipeline of effects, render passes, textures and inputs. Noisedeck.app’s Export Shader Pipeline feature packages that program for a growing set of hosts. The open source Noisemaker engine, its ports and its source wrappers make the same composition usable well beyond the editor.
What's in an export
Copying one fragment shader would leave most of a Noisedeck program behind. Your Polymorphic program describes the effect chain; Noisemaker turns it into ordered render passes with textures, inputs and output surfaces. An export packages the program and the code its destination needs to play it.
The table separates entries recorded in Noisedeck’s source registry from projects that currently have no kit. A repository’s existence does not mean that its target appears in the live app, covers every effect or has been verified on every OS.
Export targets and compatibility
Squares summarize documented support. Browser tiles name the OS and browser; open the notes for exact checks. “Listed kit” describes the Noisedeck source registry, not a verified live export.

How to read the matrix
A reference source is a built-in Noisemaker export. A source wrapper runs its engine in another host; a port implements a destination runtime. Square statuses do not qualify every effect, parameter or device. CPU audio/MIDI fixtures do not establish real-time response. Scroll inside the table; project names and column headings stay visible.

| Source wrapper | Listed kit | Browser exports | cables.gl / WebGL2 | GLSL / JavaScript | Patch, op extension and player | Noisemaker runs inside a Cables patch. The Standalone smoke render is a separate check. The published demo fails on iPhone and iPad Safari 26.5 simulators because OES_texture_float_linear is unavailable. Desktop particle motion still needs an isolated check. | |||

| Port | Unlisted kit | Desktop and native | Blender 5.1 / GPU | Python / GLSL | Add-on, bake script and DSL | Bakes into Blender Image datablocks for materials and compositing. Fresh baking on macOS needs an open GPU window; some effect parity gaps remain. | |||

Using a destination
Choose the host you want, then open its linked source package for install steps, examples, parity evidence and current limits. Individual guides with fuller examples are planned for these ports and source wrappers. This comparison will change as the projects develop.
For now, the Noisemaker demos show several integrations in action. See Noisedeck for the editor and Noisemaker for the engine.
