MinionsArt maintains minionsart.github.io/tutorials, a searchable index of Patreon shader and art posts. Cards show previews and dates linking to free Patreon write-ups instead of hosting full articles on GitHub Pages.
Filters tag Unity Built-in RP, URP, Shader Graph, textures, asset packs, and modelling. Topics include stylized water, interactive snow, tessellation, stencils, render-texture painting, terrain blending, grass, and Shader Graph ports from HLSL.
Material suits intermediate Unity artists who want screenshot-led breakdowns with snippets. Some entries document Astro Kat design alongside shader math.
TutData.json powers sorting and search across updates since 2017. Tutorial prose stays free on Patreon; paid tiers add optional Unity packages per post.
The catalog is often cited on r/gamedev and in the Cyanilux resources gist for stylized effects.
