What it reads

Frame-local Reads only the current frame, which makes it the cheapest kind to stack and safe to render into a Conjure window at any size.

Parameters

param	key	range	default
Amount	`amount`	0..1 (rendered to 2)	0.7
Frequency	`freq`	1..20	6

The renderer widens amount past its declared maximum by 2× before it reaches the shader, because most shader bodies were tuned against a muted top end. The rendered figure is the bound that actually arrives.

Defaults as a layer

{ "effectId": "oilSlick", "params": { "amount": 0.7, "freq": 6 } }

GLSL fragment shader

The effect's own code. The uniforms and helpers above it — uTex, uFeedback, the depth proxy, the frame ring, depthAt(), timeAt() — are the same header every Ether-MOSH shader opens with, and are documented once on the registry rather than reprinted on all 143 pages.

void main(){ vec4 c = texture2D(uTex, vUv); float l = dot(c.rgb, vec3(0.299,0.587,0.114)); float angle = l*uFreq + uTime*0.3 + noise(vUv*4.0)*2.0; vec3 oil = 0.5 + 0.5*cos(angle + vec3(0.0, 2.094, 4.188)); gl_FragColor = vec4(mix(c.rgb, c.rgb*oil*1.5, uAmount), c.a); }
