First, kill any notion of nautical-themed shaders. The “Pirate” moniker is Heathen’s playful nod to the idea of repurposing , recombining , and plundering the best visual techniques from multiple rendering styles—Cel shading, PBR, toon outlines, and hand-painted textures—and mashing them into a single, customizable framework. These shaders are not about pirates. They are for pirates: developers who want to steal high-end looks without writing a single line of HLSL.

are a custom suite of shaders designed for the Unity engine, specifically tailored for VRChat and real-time applications. Unlike standard Unity shaders (like Standard or Toon Lit), which aim for realistic physics or basic flat colors, Heathen’s shaders specialize in distortion, psychedelia, and "glitch" aesthetics.

The project by is a repository of ReShade effects designed for post-processing in games . These shaders use the ReShade FX shading language , which is based on DX9-style HLSL syntax.
