I just stumbled upon this, and I've been looking for a good glsl shader tutorial for a very long time, and I think this is the first one that I've found that properly explains things like a programming language. I find tutorials tend not to explain the file structure and how buffers interact and such, or they just tell you to mess around with an already existing pack. But you actually explain and show that explanation, which I find really nice. I will definitely be watching through your all of your videos.

12:17 the inline if statement works as follows: thing = (condition)? What it is if true : what it is if false;

1:03:44 there are much better noise functions to use for this than random.

ok, i start this tutorial and the 11, tomorrow. I had changed the noise for the clouds and set it up so that they darken at night. I hope this won't cause any issues
