Scene Transition FX - Godot 4 Shader Pack

Seven scene transitions for Godot 4 with a drop-in system: fade, circle iris, noise dissolve, radial clock wipe, venetian bars, diamond grid and mosaic. Add one autoload and change scenes in a single line - Transition.change_scene("res://level2.tscn", "circle_wipe", 0.5) - or drive the cover/reveal halves yourself. No external assets, no BackBufferCopy, no boilerplate.

The transitions

• Fade - a clean uniform fade to any color.
• Circle - an iris that closes from a point (set the center anywhere).
• Dissolve - a soft, cloudy noise reveal.
• Radial - a clock-style sweep around the center.
• Bars - venetian-blind bars, horizontal or vertical.
• Diamonds - a grid of diamonds that grow to cover.
• Mosaic - blocky tiles that pop in at random.

Quick start (one line)

Copy the shaders/ and scenes/ folders in. Register the manager once (Project Settings > Autoload, add res://scenes/transition.gd as Transition), then call Transition.change_scene(path, "dissolve", 0.5) to cover, load the new scene and reveal it - or await Transition.cover(...) and await Transition.reveal(...) to do work in between. The circle, diamonds and mosaic keep the right proportions on any screen size by themselves, so there is nothing to configure. Prefer manual control? Put a full-screen ColorRect on a top CanvasLayer with the shader and tween its progress.

Compatibility

Godot 4.x, tested on 4.7. Works in Forward+, Mobile and Compatibility renderers. Pure shader code, tiny download, no dependencies.
