Can we do it using only AppGameKit functions? (without shader modification)
I need to apply one shader on top of render result of another shader.

Us a quad object. They use that technique in the "Bloom" example in

I already use quad obj, but i dont know where exactly and how I can mix it all together.
If I set two shaders to one object it doesnt mix its result, only last shader is in effect.
I'll check this example too

Ok, I get it how it done.
Now I have following question:
Is there any difference to render result on image that assigned to sprite or image that assigned to quad?
(Except quad can use only fullscreen shaders)

Yes you can render to an image and asign it to a quad or a sprite which is streched to the window size.
It's prety much the same, sprites are made of 4 vertices too (nowadays) like the quad object.
The Quad fits the screen by default.
The biggest difference is the shader used to render them and maybe there is a bit more memory allocated for sprites but thats a guess and probably not a reason to prefer one over the other.
[Edit]I correct myself as I just looked into the source code, so a quad is made out of 6 vertices and a sprite is made out of 4 vertices as a triangle strip[Edit]

you could use two full screen sprites


ideally if you want to mix them you would use a 3dr shader that would mix the images of the first two
but that would chew performance and would be better if you used just one shader that created the one effect
