A collection of material effects implemented with shaders for Flutter.

Live Demo

Gen1 Materials

Gradient Fills (linear + radial variants)

• Gritty Gradient - Risograph-style stippled gradient
• Perlin Gradient - Classic Perlin noise with bump lighting
• Simplex Gradient - Simplex noise with fewer artifacts
• FBM Gradient - Fractional Brownian Motion layered noise
• Turbulence Gradient - Turbulent ridge-like patterns
• Voronoi Gradient - Cellular Voronoi noise
• Voronoise Gradient - Blend of Voronoi and noise

Special Effects

• Marble Smear - Animated marble with drag-to-smudge
• Ripple - Animated wave distortion (wrap)
• Clickable Ripple - Tap-triggered ripple effects (wrap)

Installation

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  material_palette: ^0.1.0

Important: Fragment shaders from packages must be declared the shaders you use in your app's pubspec.yaml. You can list only the ones you need, or include all of them:

flutter:
  shaders:
    # Gradient fills (linear)
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/gritty_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/perlin_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/simplex_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/fbm_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/turbulence_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/voronoi_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/voronoise_gradient.frag
    # Gradient fills (radial)
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_gritty_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_perlin_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_simplex_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_fbm_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_turbulence_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_voronoi_gradient.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/radial_voronoise_gradient.frag
    # Special effects
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/marble_smear.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/ripple.frag
    - packages/material_palette/shaders/click_ripple.frag

Quick Start

Include the package, then add one of the following widgets to your flutter project.

ShaderFill

Fills the widget area with the shader effect.

import 'package:material_palette/material_palette.dart';

GrittyGradientShaderFill(
  width: 300,
  height: 200,
  params: grittyGradientDef.defaults.copyWith(
    colors: {'colorA': Colors.blue, 'colorB': Colors.purple},
  ),
)

ShaderWrap

Wraps an existing flutter widget an applies the shader effect to it.

import 'package:material_palette/material_palette.dart';

RippleShaderWrap(
  child: Image.asset('assets/photo.jpg'),
)

ShaderParams

All shaders are configured via ShaderParams, an immutable parameter bag:

// Start from defaults
final params = perlinGradientDef.defaults;

// Modify individual values
final custom = params
  .withValue('noiseDensity', 60.0)
  .withColor('colorA', Colors.teal);

Animation Modes

Every shader widget supports three animation modes:

• ShaderAnimationMode.running - Internal ticker causes the shader to animate over time (default).
• ShaderAnimationMode.static - Renders once and caches.
• ShaderAnimationMode.animation - External Animation<double> drives the shader animation.

GrittyGradientShaderFill(
  width: 300,
  height: 200,
  animationMode: ShaderAnimationMode.static,
)
