My 2014 MBP was really good with shaders. Just you know.
I experimented with Vuo (free community edition) and loaded shaders and 3d models into VDMX and have so many parameters to tweak - I can really reccomend to try this out!
ISF shaders are reall nice and VDMX is 249$ right now (and starving artist discount 99$ I think). VDMX can open Vuo scenes and ISF and Vuo can also read ISF.

I really love the fact that with Vuo you can mix 2d shaders with 3D objects (so you could have a torus rotating around some fancy patterns) - and sync it all up over MIDI/audio/OSC groundbreaking for me!
I have a question …maybe we have some Max experts here? I love the connection m4l kit for Ableton - it has the OSC send.amxd which is only mappable to knobs and buttons and send it to specific /osc/addresses.
There is also another patch which can send the MIDI notes inside a track (I really dislike having to create dummy tracks all the time to extract and route MIDI data to other receivers).
The patch is called OSC MIDI send.amxd which does it - almost. It takes the played Note and sends it … to some weird address. Could anybody help me make it accessable / versatile as the patch above?
