Sublime Text plugin for live-coding GLSL Shaders using glslViewer ( MACOS X and Linux only).

## Installation
1. Install [glslViewer](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslViewer). By default it will be installed on ```/usr/local/bin``` if that's not the case edit it the ```glslViewer.sublime-settings``` file once you finish this steps.

2. You can choose to install the plugin it self with [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io/) or by cloning [this repository](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/sublime-glslViewer) on you ```Packages``` Folder. For example:

```bash
cd ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/
git clone https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/sublime-glslViewer.git
```

## Usage

Every time you open a ```.frag``` or ```.fs``` file it will render it through ```glslViewer``` which will reload the shader every time you save it.

If the shader contain any ```uniform sampler2D```, a input label will apear down your Sublime Windows where you can enter the absolute or relative path to the image you want to load.

Also if you have a ```.vert``` file and/or 3D model (```.ply``` or ```.obj```) with the same name it will open them automatically.
