Name

Common name of the shader stage.

KodeLife follows OpenGL nomenclature so shader stages are named Vertex, Tessellation Control, Tessellation Evaluation, Geometry and Fragment shader and listed in the order of execution in the pipeline.

Enabled

Enabled state of the shader stage. Some shader stages are optional and can be enabled and disabled.

Locked

Locked status of the shader stages' source code.

When a shader stage is locked, no modifications to its source code can be made in KodeLife's editor.

Watch File

External file watch status and path.

A shader stage's source code can be pulled and automatically updated from an external file. When enabling this feature the shader stage will also be automatically locked for local modification in KodeLife's editor.

Parameters added at the shader stage level, that will be set and updated only for this single shader stage.

Clicking the + button at the end of the header row will open a menu with all available Parameter Types.
