Cyanilux's Sword Slash Shader Breakdown (Dec 2021) is a free Unity blog tutorial for an unlit URP Shader Graph effect on a ring mesh: panning a triangular slash mask and noise over time, like soulercoaster ribbon VFX used in spells.
Setup covers ring UVs, textures, and optional downloads; the Graph builds Slash/Length UV animation, comparison masking, edge fades, scrolling noise, Lerp colors with Smoothstep, and optional vertex Scale.

· <shaders><across><detail><developers><free><link><noise><one> - A gentle introduction to shaders (Alan Zucconi)
Alan Zucconi's A gentle introduction to shaders in Unity3D (June 2015) is part one of his Gentle Introduction series on alanzucconi.com, aimed at Unity developers new to GPU programs.
It connects vertices, materials, and shaders in Unity's pipeline, covering ShaderLab Properties and SubShader layout, inspector uniforms, Queue tags, ZTest, and the surface-versus-vertex/fragment split for lighting versus effects.
Little prior shader knowledge is assumed; fixed-function shaders are skipped as obsolete.
