Introduction

1. 课程导论

本课程是讲Unity Shader，主要分为五个部分：

• 学习向量基础知识
• 写第一个shader
• 关注shaping functions
• 添加灵活的噪声函数
• 关注图片，纹理在shader里的，然后怎么用

1—5 关注片元着色器

6 开始关注顶点着色器 灯光

7 表面着色器

8 高级效果，low polygon mesh runtime和unity stencil buffer

9 透明效果

10 体积着色器 云效果

11 后处理技术（用在渲染之后

12 URP渲染管线

13 shader graph

14 回顾总结

2.Introduction

2.1 How To Rendering a triangle

• Positions the vertices
• Color the pixels

2.2 Unity Shaders

• Vertex shader: Moves vertices from model coordinates to clip spacce coordinates
• Fragment shader: Color the pixels in rgba format

2.3 RGBA

• RGB value ：[0,1]
• Example：
  white pixel——(1,1,1,1)
  semi transparent red pixel——(1,0,0,0.5)

2.4 Z-buffering

• something in front of another item would override the pixel color calculated by another shader
• Z-buffer holds the distance of a pixel from the camera.
• Renderer handles this for us.
• We just move the vertices and color the pixels.

2.5 CPU and GPU

• CPU: Can handle large programs with huge memory requirements
• GPU:Can handle small programs with small memory requirements
• GPU:Can run 100’s or even 1000’s of programs simutaneously
  Compare:because of parallel processing the GPU runs small programs
  many times faster than a CPU

2.6 Image programing

• Often in a loop
• Build up an image progressively逐步建立形象
• Work across rows ande columns
  With shaders each vertex and pixel is independent of any other

3. CG is not Csharp

3.1 Strongly type

When we create a variable we need to give the variable a type:

type.eg. int num1 = 12;

CG is strongly typed like Csharp.

The number will have a certain number of digits and the deciaml point can go anywhere in these digits.

3.2 CG vectors

You can easily create vectors flow to V equals nought point five will create a variable v that contains two values with the value.

float2 v = 0.5;//v.x = 0.5 and v. y = 0.5
w = v*2;//w.x = 1 and w.y = 1

float4 w = 1.0;//w.x =1.0,w.y = 1.0,w.z = 1.0,w.w = 1.0

3.3 Packed arrays

Half,fixed…A fixed may take less memory than a float,it depends on the hardware.

Half2,half3,half4

Fixed2,fixed3,fixed4

• Use half and fixed on mobile devices

Int2,int3,int4

Bool2,bool3,bool4

3.4 Functions

Csharp:

bool inRect(Vector2 pt,Vector4 rect){}

CG:

bool inRect(float2 pt,float4 rect){}
