Shader Guru

[Toaster]

Hey everyone I got pissed at not being able to find tutorials on HLSL or shaders in general. So I decided to make a site dedicated to shaders!

Please feel free to leave you comments and suggestions and sign up for the forums.

Some comprehensive tutorials offering a nice and easy environment within one can test and experiment while learning would be perfect. There are lots of articles around, but they are mostly written in i'm-trying-to-sound-like-a-math-guru-expert-kinda-guy way and not reader friendly. This can be changed easily with a few diagrams, less formulas, and more simple code.

There is but ONE tutorial online which goes through the basics properly, introducing you to keywords, what techniques are, the actual flow of the code - how the data enters and exists a very simple shader (which is very different for 2d shaders vs object shaders) and so on.

A mere collection of tutorials would make this website a success. Good luck!

Yeah I've been collecting some good tutorials and articles but however I have yet to find anything that goes through the basics like you said.

If you know of good articles your more then welcome to post them yourself.
