· <optimization><before><captures><cpu><developers><frames><game><gpu> - 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.
