Some time ago.You do that with the paint set you got for Christmas?
Lol, no that’s Van Gogh.If you did do that - it is really cool
What is that?Are shaders art?
I was drunk and found myself in a shader art museum this weekend.
What is that?
Using something like normal maps? Although I have only seen them adding detail to simpler shapes so far, and that in Blender, not coding stuff.Shader - Wikipedia

A material for example in a video game is a shader since it's normally accompanied by a texture, normal map, ambient occlusion map and specular.
But you can even build geometry with shaders. Basically a script that for Direct 3D comes in HLSL and for OpenGL it's GLSL.
Me and a friend will make a video about it tonight cause you have to see it to understand.

Daz Studio also applies a heap of different attributes to materials [diffraction, transparency, subsurface scattering, specularity, metallicity, roughness, etc] some of which can can be modified using values from texture maps.
There is a renderer called POV-Ray that, when last I looked at it, expected the user to construct entire scenes using some sort of code, for example:

Do you remember graphics cards first got pixel and vertex shaders?
