WebXR brings both VR and AR to the browser. The API has the massive forces of Google and Amazon behind it, so it looks like immersive experiences, using only a browser, will make a huge impact shortly. You'll learn how easy it is in this course, using Three.JS to create VR and AR experiences. To get the best from the course, you will need to be comfortable with JavaScript coding. However, no other prerequisites are required. The course includes comprehensive resources and code examples. Each code example comes with two versions, one for you to code and another that is complete in case you hit a problem.

KEY FEATURES
GLSL is how you can use OpenGL to display a surface. The code syntax is based on the C language, but fear not, this course assumes you have literally no knowledge of this language at all and you will learn this from scratch. GLSL uses the GPU (the Graphics Processing Unit) to handle multiple programs at the same time, so it is unbelievably fast.
In the course, you will be writing code for the browser, because this allows us to focus on GLSL, without needing to worry about installing any additional software. You'll be using the THREE.js WebGL library and CodePen so you can instantly edit the source and see the results, needing nothing other than a browser to experiment. Only a small amount of Javascript is used but this will be explained thoroughly as it comes along. But you can also use what you learn about GLSL in a C/C++/C# program or a Python program.
- Access 48 lectures & 3 hours of content 24/7
- Use GLSL to create great shaders
- Create great image manipulating shaders for cool website effects
- Combine your shaders with lighting effects
- Create explosions & fire shaders
- Create procedural textures
- Create HUD displays for real-time 3D applications
- Use shaders to manipulate the geometry of a model

KEY FEATURES
Unity ShaderLab is how you create custom shaders. It comes in 3 flavors, fixed function, vertex-fragment, and surface shaders. This course won't be looking at the fixed-function route as it is effectively a legacy option and you want to learn modern best practices. The code syntax is based on the C language, but fear not, this class will assume you have literally no knowledge of this language at all and we will, as the course title states, learn this from scratch. A shader uses the GPU (the Graphics Processing Unit) to handle multiple programs at the same time, so it is unbelievably fast. Once you're comfortable with simple shaders, this course will cover advanced effects such as tessellation, transparency, using the stencil buffer, and post-processing.
- Access 64 lectures & 4 hours of content 24/7
- Discover the mysteries of writing Unity shaders
- Be gently introduced to how to approach the problem of creating a custom shader
- Learn the full details of the Cg shader language
- Use the Surface Shader syntax to add custom shaders on top of Unity lighting
- Start with simple unlit 2D shaders & work up to advanced effects such as volumetric shaders and clipping
