About Lens by Addifect
Lens by Addifect is an innovative design and art tool created by Lahiru Dissanayake that allows creators to paint living WebGL shader effects directly onto any photo or AI-generated art. Whether you want to add dynamic elements like liquid, water, light, or glitch effects, Lens makes it simple to mask what moves and bring static visuals to life.
Designed with developer and creator freedom in mind, compositions save directly to your own GitHub account, ensuring zero vendor lock-in. The rendering engine is exceptionally lightweight at approximately 12KB gzipped, loading art separately just like a standard image. Embed your living art anywhere on the web using just a single line of code.
Currently in beta, the core creation loop—enabling users to paint, layer, and embed—is fully functional today. While mobile performance optimization and the shader library are still actively expanding, early adopters can take advantage of the founder pricing model.
