We're going to start a YouTube channel, and the first video will be about Gastly in both Desmos and Godot. What do you think? Is this a good selection? 👀

So, in this first episode, Fabrizio starts in Desmos, using equations and inequalities to define the character’s shapes, and then translates those same ideas into Godot’s shader language (GDSL).
From there, everything comes together as a fully procedural version of Gastly, built from math and Cartesian coordinates, with animation based on time.
It’s not really meant to be dropped into a game, it’s more of a learning example that shows how shapes and functions translate into real-time rendering.
Fabrizio will be sharing more videos like this, covering shaders, tools, tips, and technical concepts. If you’d like to follow along, you can subscribe to the channel.

Interested in learning more?
Some of these techniques may look familiar. Many of the ideas behind this Gastly are the same ones explored in The Godot Shaders Bible.
This book is designed for anyone interested in learning more about shaders, whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience and want to explore further in Godot.
