In Detail

Since  their introduction to Unity, Shaders have been notoriously difficult to  understand and implement in games: complex mathematics have always  stood in the way of creating your own Shaders and attaining that level  of realism you crave. Transform your game into a highly polished,  refined product with Unity’s post-processing effects.

"Unity  Shaders and Effects Cookbook" is the first of its kind to bring you the  secrets of creating Shaders for Unity3D - guiding you through the  process of understanding vectors, how lighting is constructed with them,  and also how textures are used to create complex effects without the  heavy math.

Starting with essential lighting and finishing up by  creating stunning Screen Effects alike those in high quality 3D and  mobile games. Discover techniques including Normal mapping, Image based  lighting, and how to animate your models inside of a Shader. Explore the  secrets behind some of the most powerful Shaders including skin and  hair! With "Unity Shaders and Effects Cookbook" what seems like a dark  art today will be second nature by tomorrow.
