Good resources for learning how to write shaders.

Post by Amuscaria »

The second part of my masters resource project will likely require me to write a shader to show the intersection between a plane and geometry so I can render it from a second camera. I've been looking at videos for a couple of weeks and trying to write shaders from examples, but I'm not really understanding any of it. Anyone got a good resource to recommend for shader writing that explains to a complete novice? Using Unity btw, not sure if that makes a difference for shader-coding.

Thanks! I wasn't able to find this and instead was reading Catlike Coding tutorials instead, which got really confusing after the first 3 examples.
