Paper App Shaders

Summary

Two new shader effects added to the Paper app, showcasing a frosted glass lens over colorful geometry and a dark monochrome rippling displacement surface.

Visual description

A white geometric symbol rendered as a frosted glass effect inside a circular frame, surrounded by iridescent gradient color shifts and grainy noise texture. The background contains vertical color gradient bars transitioning from cream through green, purple, and pink, creating a layered depth effect.

Key takeaway

Apply a frosted glass shader with noise grain to flat geometry to add tactile depth and visual richness without changing the underlying shape or silhouette.
