Course Reviews

This course has been really great, i have alot of prior experience with unity and and a good knowledge of programming in c#. I feel like ive learnt so much in a short time and this is adding more to my tools. The explanations and code walkthroughs are clear everytime and i feel its improved my understanding of rendering and shaders as a whole, which will also help with using unity's shader graph tool.

A fantastic course for learning shaders. I've tried multiple times to "crack" this topic without much success. I feel like it's actually sticking with this course. A great course tutor that cleary understands the topic and delivers the information in a clear and professional manner. Would highly recommend.
