A gentle introduction to the concept and customization of shaders! Learn how to give your Unity games a unique and pretty twist both in the Unity editor and shader code! We’ll be covering what a shader is, Standard Unity shader (which comes by default), and an intro to writing your own shader.This workshop is oriented to folks with little to no knowledge about shaders.
What’s a shader?
A shader is a program specifically made to run on a GPU. It is, ultimately, what draws the triangles of your 3D models. Learning how to code shaders is essential if you want to give a special look to your game. Unity also uses them for postprocessing, making them essential for 2D games as well.
Open to everyone of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and identities.
Setup
Before attending, please prepare the following on your laptop:
- Install the latest version of Unity3D
