Fragment shaders in Flutter expand the horizon of building custom UIs and animations. They go beyond your day-to-day custom painters and render objects to help you create truly custom graphics and special effects for your Flutter apps and games. With control over every pixel on the screen, you can manipulate your app graphics in a variety of ways to create effects and animations that would otherwise be impossible to do without shaders like real-time image filters seen within Instagram/Snapchat or custom blur, pixellation or even custom navigation transitions for your apps and games. We'll also explore how Shaders sit at the pinnacle of graphics and how the Flutter engine uses Fragment shaders under the hood for rendering the pixels on the screen. And go into different techniques and tools combined with Custom painting, render objects and more to use Fragment shaders in your Flutter apps and games to create unique digital experiences.
