About Aqueduct

Aqueduct is a procedural material engine, editor, and CLI. Technical artists and environment artists use Aqueduct to create PBR materials and VFX textures from composable GPU shader nodes. Aqueduct's MCP server is optimized for frontier models to create high quality, legible, adjustable procedural materials. Because Aqueduct runs in the browser, it is easy to share links to procedural material graphs. For instance, see: https://aqueduct.sh/examples/g/marble-003.
