I'm confused about why this site keeps making the rounds, because it's been in the exact same unfinished state for something like five years now. Patricio keeps promoting the unfinished work without working on it. The intro content is good but it's been stuck in intro mode for years. It's just a strange self promotional situation.
- silvi9 6y agoIt's a real pity, because the current chapters are incredible. Patricio's gift of communication along with the artistic and creative aspects of the book really makes the learning process so much more inspiring. I hope he finishes the other chapters some day.
- pjmlp 6y agoIndeed, it is a very valuable resource for beginners to jump into shaders, but for those that already know the basics there are several good books focusing on shading languages, and NVidia has a couple of free ones available on their site. Even the outdated book about Cg language has good content regarding shading in general. But if Patricio ever puts it in an actual book, I would gladly buy it.
- jonplackett 6y agoWhen I saw this here again I so wished it was because it now had more content. It’s such a great intro to shaders. Please finish it!!!!
- hugozap 6y agoI'm ok with him promoting his work, not sure why that's bad for you. It's a great resource for learning.
