Finally my tutorial on a paper burn shader. Building on many tutorials before, I’ll walk through how to get a realistic looking paper burn just from a shader.
Paper Burn Shader in Unity
Tip: Preview Nodes in Shader Graph
How to use the Preview node in Unity’s shader graph to organize and clarify your graphs.
Paper Shader in Unity
This is the first in a collection of posts about paper shaders in Unity. This will cover five (really four) ways to deform a plane and make it look more like paper.
How to Calculate Shader Graph Normals
How to calculate normal vectors inside Unity. Shader Graph normals as well as code driven normals.
Unity Vertex Shader and Geometry Shader Tutorial
An introduction to vertex shaders and geometry shaders within Unity. Includes coded shaders and shader graph.
2019 Progress Report
A handful of posts and a handful of visitors. This is my income and progress report for 2019. I was a net-negative, but am happy with the progress, and looking forward to a great 2020.
How To Create Custom Shader Graph Nodes
How to create custom shader graph nodes for the Unity shader graph package. We’ll explore both how to include HLSL code within a shader graph, and creating custom sub-nodes purely within the graph. This is useful for both reusing graphs, and creating advanced functionality within a graph.
Shader Series 5 – Unity Shader Graph
In the beginning of my shader series, I said that I’d stay in more in code than in graph tools. Well, today I’m ignoring that. Specifically, I’ll be going over how to work in the Unity Shader Graph. I knew eventually I’d have to start jumping into graph tools, but it has happened sooner than […]
Why You Should Have a Game Dev Side Hustle
This is somewhat of a question and a statement. I’ll give some suggestions throughout as to why you should have a game dev side hustle. But I also need to ask you the question: why should you have one? At the end of the day, I can’t answer that for you. I mean, I’ll make […]
Shader Series 4 – Colors As Math
Do you ever say to yourself “I wish math was sneakily hidden in more places around me”? Obviously you do. Well, today I’m going to cover how hiding math inside a texture can boost your shader capabilities. For context, an example of this would be using a normal map in a shader in Unity. If […]
