Unlocking Shader Programming: A Journey Through GLSL and Unity Shaders

In this episode, we explore two insightful sources on shader programming, beginning with an excerpt from The Book of Shaders, which teaches readers how to write fragment shaders using GLSL (Open Graphics Library Shading Language). We’ll cover the basics of creating shapes, patterns, and textures, before delving into advanced techniques like procedural textures, distance fields, and 2D matrices.

Focusing on Unity Shaders within the Unity game engine, we’ll explain the rendering pipeline and various techniques for enhancing visual effects through lighting, texturing, and post-processing. Join us to unlock the creative potential of shaders in your projects and elevate your game’s visual quality!
