Coding in Unity: Introduction to Shaders

🚀 Course Title: Coding in Unity: Introduction to Shaders 🎮

Headline: 🌟 Make your game look unique through image effects, shaders, and custom lighting by mastering Unity's ShaderLab language!

Course Description:

Embark on a journey to transform your Unity games with the power of custom shaders. This course is designed to introduce you to the world of shader programming within Unity, starting from the basics and building up to advanced effects that will set your game apart. With a focus on ShaderLab language for Unity 5 or above, you'll gain hands-on experience with vertex and fragment shaders, surface shaders, image effects, and custom lighting models.

What You Will Learn:

• Understanding Shader Properties: Discover the properties of a mesh that can be influenced by shaders.
• Writing Your Own Shaders: Dive into writing vertex and fragment shaders, and explore the power of surface shaders with textures, normal maps, metallic and emissive effects.
• Creating Image Effects: Learn to craft your own image effects from scratch, enhancing the visual appeal of your game.
• Custom Lighting Models: Implement lighting models such as cel shading, adding a unique artistic touch to your scenes.
• Utilizing ShaderLab and CG/HLSL: Get to grips with Unity's ShaderLab and understand the underlying CG/HLSL concepts.
• Developing a Custom Shader Inspector: Create a user-friendly inspector for your shaders, making them easy to adjust and tweak.
• Advanced Effects: From sways in sprites to dynamic dissolves, learn to create complex effects that will make your game stand out.

Why Mastering Shaders Matters:

Unity is an incredibly versatile tool, but many games can start to look similar due to reliance on default shaders. By understanding and implementing your own shaders, you'll be able to create visually stunning effects that give your game a unique identity. This course will guide you through the process, ensuring you have a solid foundation in shader programming to experiment with and innovate in your projects.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is perfect for intermediate Unity users who are comfortable with C# programming but new to shader programming. With step-by-step examples of increasing complexity, you'll gain the confidence and knowledge to start creating your own effects.
