The Shader Journey

Tech Artists are wizards,
In the realm of shaders, they bend space and time.
With fragments and vertex, they sculpt light’s design,
Crafting worlds of wonder, where brilliance does shine.

My Journey with Shaders in Godot

Working closely with Tech Artists has always left me in awe of what they can achieve with code. I was fortunate to be part of a team where my teammates were eager to walk me through the intricacies of shaders.

To better collaborate with them, I read the Unity Shader Bible. This book provided a solid foundation and helped me understand more about what my coworkers were doing. I remember thinking that my next step in this shader journey would be to experiment with different techniques and examples.

However, I got busy with other projects until I stumbled upon a book that guides using shaders in Godot, an engine I recently fell in love with.

As I started going through the book, I decided to create a little web viewer to share what I’ve been learning in this space.
