UUSL Common Intrinsic Functions

This documentation article contains information functions of the UUSL. This information can be used as the reference document for writing shaders.

To start using common UUSL functions, include the core/shaders/common/common.h file.

UUSL
#include <core/shaders/common/common.h>

For fragment shader features, use the core/shaders/common/fragment.h file.
