The easiest way to learn shaders for Godot 4! Ultimate 2D Shader Course

#shaders #godot #tutorial ​ #VFX
My full 2D Shader course is now available with DISCOUNT on:
Discount code: RELEASE20

I'm happy to share that after more than a year of hard work, my shader course is finally completed!
Thanks to everyone who enrolled in the first part or supported me in any way.

For those who're interested, the course takes you from a total beginner and will teach you all the ins and outs of shaders, especially canvas item shaders. The reason why I kept it 2D is because if you build a strong foundation in 2D, it's pretty easy to transfer these skills to 3D. And because 2D shaders are already a vast topic, there is plenty to learn.
The focus of my course is on explaining complex topics in the simplest way possible through a very visual approach with lots of examples. Now that the second part is done, I'll start implementing the feedback I received on part 1.

Like what you see? The course is available on my own website, and I've created a coupon that will be valid this month to celebrate the release!
