Master the Art of Shading: From Basic Techniques to Advanced Visual Effects in 2D and 3D Environments
Ever wondered how to make visuals that keep players’ eyes glued to the screen? The secret sauce is Shaders and we’re here to help you pour it all over your game!
We’ll take you from “What’s a shader?” to “Check out this cool visual effect I made!” in no time.
Jumpstart your journey with programming in Godot’s own shading language, moving swiftly from the basics to the cooler, more complex spells of the shader world. (GDScript, who? It’s time to meet the cooler cousin!)
Discover the magic behind fragment and vertex shaders in both 2D and 3D, and get hands-on with techniques that’ll make your game scenes pop like never before.
And yes, we’re diving deep into creating that mesmerising 3D water shader – because your games deserve to look spectacular!
This course is perfect if you’re familiar with Godot basics but itching to elevate your games from great to “Whoa, how did you do that?!”
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game development arena for a while, if you dream of crafting visuals that tell a story beyond words, welcome aboard.
Feeling confused by shaders or making the switch from another engine? We’ve got you.
