Building Artist-Friendly Shader Controls

A placeholder article for testing headings, lists, code, media, and embedded previews.

A good control should expose intent, not implementation detail.

This placeholder article tests the editorial layout used for technical notes. It is deliberately structured like an AI-generated draft that can be refined in Studio.

  • Use names an artist can understand at a glance.
  • Keep defaults useful before any slider is touched.
  • Expose debug channels when they help diagnose a result.
