 **To get started, use the project template (see the Releases section of this repo) and open it in Godot.**
 
-The template includes many examples. You can use them as a starting-point to write your own stuff.
-
-Besides the regular GDShader stuff, Pigment has so-called directives. Those allow to further control the behaviour of the application. **The most important directive is `//!load` to load an image.**
-
-
-### Load TEXTURE using the `//!load` directive
-
-```glsl
-//!load <filepath>
-```
-
-The main image file will be read and available as the sampler2D `TEXTURE`.
-
-
-#### Load additional images
-
-```glsl
-//!load+ <name> <filepath>
-
-uniform sampler2D <name>;
-```
-
-Have a look at the `place_texture.gdshader` example.
-
-
-### Have multiple steps with `//!steps n`
-
-You can apply your shaderfile multiple times. At every additional step, `TEXTURE` is the result of the previous step. This can be used to chain effects that cannot be easily chained otherwise.
-
-To query the current step index, a `STEP` uniform is automatically injected. If `steps` is set to `0`, your shader won't be applied at all.
-
-Example:
-
-```glsl
-//!load ...
-//!steps 5
-
-uniform int STEP;
-uniform int STEPS;
-
-void fragment() {
-  if (STEP == 0) {
-	  ...
-  } else if (STEP == 1) {
-	  ...
-  } else if (STEP == STEPS-1) {
-    ...
-  }
-}
