Note: The second edition of his book is currently In Development. If you purchase the book now, you will receive all future updates for free until its completion. As the book is being developed and chapters are released, its price will increase. (Learn more about our publishing process here).
Designed for both aspiring and experienced technical artists, the second edition of The Unity Shaders Bible is a comprehensive ~400-page guide that takes you from the foundations of shader programming — including vertex and fragment shaders — all the way to advanced techniques like ray marching and compute shaders, all within the Unity engine.
You’ll start by mastering the structure of shaders in Shader Graph, ShaderLab, and HLSL, exploring how properties, SubShaders, and semantics operate under the hood. As you progress, the book dives deeper into essential topics such as transformation matrices, lighting models, and real-time visual effects, giving you the knowledge to build shaders that power modern games.
Whether you’re crafting custom lighting models, working with buffers, or developing production-ready rendering techniques, this book blends theory and practice in a clear, hands-on way. And because accessibility matters, it’s available in both English and Spanish.

It is great work guys! This book allows me to structure and arrange my knowledge about creating shaders. Because before, my knowledge was like a bunch of separate pieces.
