Material graph based custom shaders

Roblox please! We NEED shaders!! Every other engine has them, there is an old “why we can’t have nice things” post listing reasons why roblox can’t provide such effects for us but guess what…it’s 7 YEARS OLD, that’s insane how we didn’t get I believe a single post-processing effect since then? Or well a single from the requested ones at a time, we need area/specific blurs, distortions, decaying, melting effects come on guys this effectively exists in studio as seen here:

it is effectively in the engine wether it is by accident or not doesn’t matter just allow glass to have the same effect on low graphics and job done? There is NO CHANCE it puts enough weight on performance alone, without all the other things that come with increasing your graphics level this one feature alone now just my opinion would make a difference so small it would be considered a nuisance. Now of course I’m not some engineer engine expert I do not know how the roblox engine works at all I’m just assuming because this distortion works? Like even with water you guys enabled it there too, the distortion effect is what I need the mosttt it could help me so much you can’t imagine, every single effect needs it I’ve went so far I had to add lines checking if the player has their settings above 8 for such effects to be executed so they don’t look like plain blue sky-reflecting parts?? We need a new post regarding why Roblox “can’t” give us these kinds of effects, I’m bragging about distortions as an example by the way, an example of “you have it…you just can’t use it lol”, now please correct me if I’m wrong but imagine there was no shadow increases, no sun rays, no outline detail increases when upping your graphics levels, would this distortion alone cause any noticeable performance drop? I am again assuming not but correct me anyway. A TON of other games that run SMOOTHLY have these kinds of effects on the “veryyyyy lowwww” settings…come on man.

I am not saying implementing these would be easy for roblox of course as I’m not a professional I’m not saying magically make it happen atleast update us on why you can’t like you did 7 YEARS AGO

By the way I’m refereing to this post here
