How to get started
To integrate the Visual Shader nodes library into your poject, copy the VisualShaderExtras folder inside your addons folder. If the addons folder doesn't exist yet, create one. There's no further steps or activation through the project settings necessary.
Why another Visual Shader add-on?
There are already two major Visual Shader add-on solutions. ShaderV is mainly focused on CanvasItem shaders though and Godot-Visual-Shader-Node-Library has run stale.
Furthermore, I have plans to work on another add-on (or perhaps a GDExtension) that will utilize the signed distance shapes Shaders for User Interface Design which would make more custom interfaces possible. This idea is heavily inspired by the awesome Unity asset Shapes by Freya Holmér.
