Description

Team Dogpit (Xibanya) publishes “Shaders For People Who Don’t Know How To Shader,” a Patreon-first series that assumes no prior Unity or programming background.

Each lesson introduces one skill - colors, normal maps, rim light, deferred buffers, SDFs, raymarching - then walks through a complete shader. Matching source lives in the popular Xibanya/ShaderTutorials GitHub repo (~1.3k stars).

Austin indie studio Manuela Malasaña also ships commercial titles and client graphics programming; Discord and free tiers supplement paid posts.

Often recommended as the gentlest long-form Unity shader curriculum before diving into Catlike Coding or official docs.
