When the world falls apart and a ruler takes over. Do you take part in the takeover or fight back, fight to regain freedom? When America fell, the states were destroyed, the proclaimed country became the Northern Country. There had been no true ruler, the presidents they had in the states back in the day, they were no more. What was once wrong became right and what was right became wrong. The population was slowly simmering down as the killings continued. Engulfed in total anarchy, the Shaders took over the world! A life entangled, ties deep down; one resistance, one Shader. A life, disrupted; unknown for the mysteries left ahead.

It’s time to stop thinking that shaders are magical. You can use shaders to turn data into stunning visual effects, and get your hands dirty by building your own shader with this step-by-step introduction to shader development for game and graphics developers. Learn how to make shaders that move, tint, light up, and look awesome, all without cracking open a math textbook. Practical Shader Development teaches the theory behind how shaders work. The book also shows you how to apply that theory to create eye-popping visual effects. You’ll learn to profile and optimize those effects to make sure your projects keep running quickly with all their new visuals. You’ll learn good theory, good practices, and without getting bogged down in the math. Author Kyle Halladay explains the fundamentals of shader development through simple examples and hands-on experiments. He teaches you how to find performance issues in shaders you are using and then how to fix them. Kyle explains (and contrasts) how to use the knowledge learned from this book in three of the most popular game engines today. What You'll LearnUnderstand what shaders are and how they work Get up to speed on the nuts and bolts of writing vertex and fragment shaders Utilize color blending and know how blend equations work Know the coordinate spaces used when rendering real-time computer graphics Use simple math to animate characters, simulate lights, and create a wide variety of visual effects Find and fix performance problems in shaders See how three popular game engines (Unity, UE4, Godot) handle shaders Who This Book Is For Programmers who are interested in writing their own shaders but do not know where to start, anyone who has ever seen shader code on a forum and wished they knew how to modify it just a little bit to fit into their own projects, and game developers who are tired of using the default shaders found in the game engines they are using. The book is especially useful for those who have been put off by existing shader tutorials which introduce complex math and graphics theory before ever getting something on the screen.

Programmable graphics shaders, programs that can be downloaded to a graphics processor (GPU) to carry out operations outside the fixed-function pipeline of earlier standards, have become a key feature of computer graphics. This book is designed to open computer graphics shader programming to the student, whether in a traditional class or on their own. It is intended to complement texts based on fixed-function graphics APIs, specifically OpenGL. It introduces shader programming in general, and specifically the GLSL shader language. It also introduces a flexible, easy-to-use tool, glman, that helps you develop, test, and tune shaders outside an application that would use them.

Understand what shaders are and what they're used for: Shaders are often seen as mystical and difficult to develop, even by skilled programmers, artists, and developers from other game design disciplines. This book dispels that idea by building up your shader knowledge in stages, starting with fundamental shader mathematics and how shader development mindset differs from other types of art and programming, and slowly delves into topics such as vertex and fragment shaders, lighting, depth-based effects, texture mapping, and Shader Graph. This book presents each of these topics with a comprehensive breakdown, the required theory, and some practical applications for the techniques learned during each chapter. The HLSL (High Level Shading Language) code and Shader Graphs will be provided for each relevant section, as well as plenty of screenshots. By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of the shader development pipeline and you will be fully equipped to start making your own aesthetic and performant shader effects for your own games! You Will Learn To • Use shaders across Unity's rendering pipelines • Write shaders and modify their behavior with C# scripting • Use Shader Graph for codeless development • Understand the important math behind shaders, particularly space transformations • Profile the performance of shaders to identify optimization targets.

An increasing number of artists and programmers in visual effects and broadcast production now use mental ray, a high performance rendering engine for generating photorealistic images. This book details the aesthetics of rendering with mental ray. It describes the varieties of shader programming from the point of view of increasing perceptual complexity: from color to the output of the final image. It includes many example shaders, including the simplest shader possible in each category that can serve as a starting point for further customization.

Today's 3D video games boast of massive game worlds. Responsible for this are a huge group of 3D artists who bring the world to life through their content creation skills. But what if the entire world could be created and rendered with the help of a single shader. The video game industry has almost solely relied on poly modeling as its main source of content creation. But technical and usability issues with the use of polygons exist to this very day, such as the need for a high polygon counts to depict detail, tedious setup of the environment, the use of multiple levels of detail for individual assets, repeated asset instantiation to depict endless environments, and lack of flexibility in changing entire environments due to memory and storage overhead. In order to overcome these issues, alternate means of content creation need to be considered and evaluated. The idea of creating endless video game terrains and assets without the use of the traditional asset generation pipeline and repetition of art assets is a fascinating and favorable one for video game artists, and has found limited application through procedural generation of geometry (polygons). This research aims at achieving the above in a game engine with just the use of shader code. Shaders have long been used to tweak surface and material properties of poly surfaces in the video game industry, but have seldom been looked at as a means of asset creation just by themselves. Raymarching is the technique that makes the rendering of environments solely with the use of a shader possible. It has existed for decades but has only recently found popularity in real-time applications due to the expansion of hardware shaders. Our research is aimed at defining a content creation pipeline which supports rendering game environments in game engines solely with the help of shaders, and evaluating its potential use for interactive game environments. To facilitate this, we will compare the shader generated environments with a similar poly-modeled environment using the key factors of content generation as a framework to analyze them in a qualitative and quantitative manner.

Part of the difficulty of new comers to the field of real-time graphics to grasp the concept of shaders stems from the fact that most of the classic computer graphics literature concentrates more on the graphics techniques you are trying to achieve (e.g. realistic lighting, post processing effects). The classic literature either provides a heavily academic explanation of shaders or barely contains explanations of what a shader actually is, most of the time just providing some sample shader boiler plate templates and leaving it at that. While there are also many books dedicated exclusively to real-time 3D graphics shader programming, they either assume working knowledge of shaders or barely touch on the basics in a way that is friendly to new comers - and all of them assume that the only people writing shaders are experienced programmers completely forgetting that, thanks to the advances in tools, more and more shaders are now being written in a large part by artists. With “Introduction to Shader Programming”, Pope Kim has finally closed that big gap in the real-time 3D graphics literature. This book is an invaluable teaching resource, filling the need for anyone needing to understand how shaders work in a practical and straightforward way, while teaching at the same time the bases needed for understanding more advanced shader books and techniques in a very friendly manner. Thanks to this book, shaders will no longer be black magic but useful tools for anyone interested in the subject. - Daniel Barrero, PhD
