This course presents a comprehensive guide to creating vertex and fragment shaders using Unity's powerful visual programming tool - Shader Graph. With no prior knowledge or programming experience required, you'll embark on a learning adventure that is both engaging and accessible. 🚀

What You'll Learn:

• Over 15 Hours of Step-by-Step Tutorials & Challenges: Engage with a curriculum designed to take you from novice to proficient in shader creation.

• Thorough Grounding in Shader Development: Understand the principles of Physical-Based Rendering (PBR) under the guidance of Penny de Byl, a member of Unity's Educational Advisory Board and an esteemed educator with over 30 years of experience.

• Visual Effect Mastery: Recreate popular shaders such as Fresnel, Complex Water, Holograms, Flowing Lava, Liquids, Fire, and more. 🔥💧👾

Course Highlights:

• Developed with Unity 2021.3 LTS and Shader Graph 12.1.6: Get hands-on experience with the latest versions of Unity and Shader Graph.

• Essential Toolkit for Rendering Knowledge: Learn to work with Unity's Shader Graph, Model, Camera, and World View Coordinate Spaces, Lighting Effects, Procedurally Generated Patterns, Normals, Scene Depths, Refraction for Transparent Surfaces, and beyond. 🖌️🔬

• Interact with the Render Pipeline: Discover how to interact with Unity's rendering pipeline from scratch using Shader Graph.

• Invaluable Skills for Rendering: Acquire valuable skills in rendering queues, vector mathematics, graphics buffers, colour theory, 3D meshes, texture mapping, lighting models, and more.

Course Contents & Overview:

• First Shader from Scratch: Start by creating your very first Shader Graph shader and understand how to mix colours for surface effects, and apply external textures onto game objects.

• Understanding Lighting Models: Investigate various lighting models and their influence on render outcomes, including physically-based rendering that accounts for metallic surfaces and world reflections.

• Mathematics Fundamentals: Focus on the essential mathematics required for shader creation, ensuring you have a solid foundation to build upon.

• Advanced Water Shader Section: Learn to add advanced effects to water surfaces such as depth colour, waves, surface foam, and splash particles. 🌊✨
