In the previous article, we have seen texture mapping in Unity Cg/HLSL shaders. We will continue our journey with shader passes. In this article, we will see what a shader pass is and learn...

In the previous article, we have seen the fragment shader. We also worked on several fragment shader examples that reinforce our knowledge of pixel color manipulation. In this article, we will see how we...

These are my shader development tutorials in Unity3D from beginner to advanced levels. These tutorials cover shader development using Cg/HLSL with a focus on vertex and fragment shaders. Surface shaders are not covered here....

In the previous article, we have learned vertex shader and made some examples for it. In this article, we will see fragment shader and we will also work on different examples that will give...

In the previous article, we have created the first shader and also we explained its syntax and how it works. In this article, we will continue with the most important mathematics concept in shader...

In this article, we will take a closer look at the vertex shader. Then we will create several vertex shader examples in order to reinforce what we have learned. Contents What is vertex shader?...

Understanding of graphics rendering pipeline is essential in shader development. At first, concepts may come to you a little bit abstract but in future tutorials, you will have a better understanding of rendering pipeline....

In this article, we will start to write our first shader by explaining every step. This shader will be a basis for future shaders. We will also investigate the anatomy of shaders. Contents Creating...

Digital game is an art form which is influenced by many other art forms like painting, photography, cinema, architecture, literature and many more. For the visual arts, shading is a key technique. Shading creates...

Contents What are shaders? Importance of shaders in game development What can we do with shaders? Shader types Vertex Shader Fragment/Pixel Shader Geometry Shader Tessellation Shader Compute Shader Why is it so painful to...
