· <math><shaders><advanced><blog><anisotropic><building><ggx><microfacet> - 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.

Daniel Pokladek's January 2021 blog post builds a Unity cracked-ice material with parallax crack planes under a tinted surface, extending Binary Impact's Shader Graph ice tutorial toward Dragon Age: Inquisition-style stacked cracks, not one repeating layer.
Shader Graph work uses three parallax slices, surface offset, normal UV distortion, grayscale albedo tinting, and RGB-packed crack maps.
