Lighting, shadow, and surface.

Compute Shader, Ray Tracing, and Sphere Tracing.

Learn shaders in Unity, starting with the basics and finishing with advanced concepts.
The book includes a detailed explanation of languages like Cg, HLSL, ShaderLab, and Shader Graph.

Chapter 1

Introduction to the shader programming language.

  1. It covers previous knowledge (normals, vertices, tangents, and more).
  2. Shows the structure of a shader in ShaderLab, Cg, and HLSL language.
  3. Analogy between properties and global variables.
