Create advanced Unity shader effects that give you greater technical and creative control over real-time visuals. You’ll progress from shader fundamentals—including properties, variables, textures, vertex shaders, and fragment shaders—to realistic lighting and specialized rendering techniques. You’ll implement Phong and Blinn-Phong shading, integrate global illumination with reflection and light probes, and create water, glass, holographic, fur, snow, explosion, and heat map effects.

Through hands-on shader programming, you’ll animate vertices, build reusable CG include files, visualize intensity and value changes across Unity surfaces, and develop screen-based effects using custom blend modes, overlays, old-film simulations, film grain, and night vision rendering. You’ll also optimize shader performance while balancing visual quality with technical requirements. This course is designed for learners creating games, simulations, or immersive experiences in Unity. Its distinctive combination of shader theory, practical projects, advanced creative effects, and performance optimization helps you understand not only how to build custom Unity shaders, but also how to use them effectively. Enroll to create stylized, realistic, and immersive visuals while pushing Unity’s graphics capabilities further.
