I have been promising for ages to do a series of tutorials on shaders in Unity so here’s the first rambling brain dump, an introduction to shaders in Unity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAuyeLogy5M
This is a video all about what shaders are, how to use them and how to write them. I plan to do more and make them even more basic than this long one. I’ve also been asked to do a series of using Unity for complete beginners which is coming soon.
I think anyone dealing with computer graphics should know about shaders at least for the basics.
Not only programmers, but artists and all end engine users should know how things work under the hood even if they do not need to write their own shaders.
Nice video.
Totally agree with you on this one, if only to learn about limitations or even better - to learn just how much imagination that can use in creating their game.
