## What it is
ShaderMan is a Unity editor tool that automatically converts ShaderToy GLSL shaders into Unity ShaderLab HLSL/CG shaders. It performs common GLSL-to-HLSL translations such as type renames, built-in variable replacements, and function substitutions.

## Use cases
- convert shadertoy shader to unity
- port glsl shader to hlsl
- use shadertoy effects in unity game
- translate glsl to shaderlab automatically
- learn shaders by porting shadertoy examples

## When to choose
- you want to quickly bring ShaderToy shaders into a Unity project
- you need automated GLSL-to-HLSL syntax conversion for Unity

## When to avoid
- you work in Unreal, Godot, or another non-Unity engine
- you need a general-purpose GLSL to HLSL converter outside ShaderToy conventions
- you require actively maintained tooling with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, parser, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, web-development
- platform: cross-platform, game-engine
- tags: shadertoy, glsl, hlsl, unity, shader-conversion, shaderlab, game-development
