Unity Shader Graph: Create Procedural Shaders & Dynamic FX
Master the art of Unity Shader Graph, your gateway to breathtaking visuals! Dynamically generate water, fire, smoke, footprints in the snow and more.
//
Build Materials That Look Real.
You know when a material looks fake. So do players. You'll create procedural textures using nodes in Shader Graph, crafting materials with real depth and texture instead of the flat, plasticky look a default material gives you. No painting required, just connecting nodes and watching the material change in real time.
Add Effects Players Will Notice.
Snow that shows footprints. Fire you built yourself. You'll create visual effects that react to player actions in real time, the kind of detail that makes players stop and notice a game was made with care. Each effect you build here is one more tool you'll reach for on every project after this.
Craft Fire, Water and Snow From Scratch.
Three effects, one skillset: fire, water, snow. You'll build fire that flickers and spreads, water that reacts convincingly to what's around it, and snow with footprints your player actually leaves behind. By the end you've applied everything from this course to hands-on projects, and you've got the Shader Graph fluency to build whatever effect your next game needs.

Chris Kurhan
I graduated college with a Software Engineering degree after always tinkering with custom map editors in games like StarCraft and CounterStrike. I've been programming since I was old enough to understand how to piece together some Visual Basic.
In 2015 right around the launch of Unity 5 I got into indie game development after working in enterprise software development for several years. In 2021 I started a YouTube channel, LlamAcademy, to share my knowledge of game development with the masses, emphasizing accessibility with each video having its full project code available on GitHub for free.
Now I'm excited to be partnering with GameDev.tv to share my knowledge with even more people and tackle some important topics that are better suited for course formats!
