The best effects in games are created using shaders. Holograms, dissolve effects, funky styles or generative art. You can even make logos :)When you control shaders, you control the visuals of your game. And with the arrival of ShaderGraph, finally you can create your own without writing a line of code and let free your artistic vision.In this workshop, we will go through the basics of ShaderGraph and some of the main nodes. After a brief explanation, we will go hands-on and you will get to create your own shader effect. You can come up with an idea for an effect, or follow one of the pre-made challenges that we have prepared for you.

Intended audience: Artists and developers with an artistic mindset.

Requirements: Just a basic knowledge of Unity (GameObjects, assets, etc.) and how to navigate its interface. You can learn the basics with the in-editor Interactive Tutorials (more info here). No programming knowledge is required.

Tools participants should bring: A computer with Unity 2018.1 installed, and a mouse (for your own sake!). Having graphic software and/or graphic tablets to make textures is a plus, but not necessary.
