Resources for Learning How to Make Shaders

[arctic thicket]

Hey everyone! I'm just getting into learning about how to make shaders in Unity, do you guys have any favorite resources for learning Shader Graph / writing Shaders in general? Do you have a favorite tutorial series or any articles that have been a big help?

Thanks everyone :)

this question just came up in the VRC Shader Dev discord, actually

gonna post these one at a time in case automod explodes

Unity has a series of videos that got a recommendation

https://catlikecoding.com is incredible for learning the nitty-gritty details of writing lit shaders. It has a fantastic BiRP tutorial that I've used to learn to write shaders for VRChat.

I'm not sure about lit shaders in URP (haven't really looked!) -- but I know it does have a series on writing a custom scriptable render pipeline, soooo

Freya Holmér has some very long videos that explain some of the ideas behind shaders.

https://iquilezles.org/articles/ has tons of useful tidbits

I started learning to create shaders in the Shader Graph for HDRP. I then learned unlit shaders for BiRP, mostly by looking at existing shaders
