Welcome! This blog acts as a place to share tutorials and breakdowns of shaders I’ve made on my twitter. I make shaders using Unity’s shadergraph for the Lightweight / Universal Render Pipeline (LWRP / URP), although some posts may also include HLSL code for Custom Function nodes. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, contact me on twitter. Thanks! @Cyanilux
I also have a Discord server now, where you can ask shader/gamedev questions and show off what you are working on – Join Here!
