What Is a Shader? Since the main premise of this effect is going to be a shader, we’ll start with explaining what a shader is. A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

Unity today (at least in 2017/2018 versions) uses “reversed Z” projection, but does not use “infinite projection” This means that a Camera has an actual far clipping plane, and beyond that distance nothing is rendered.

Apart from that, the month was mostly spent on implementing more 2D items in the renderer as well as working on getting custom shaders running. add line rendering. add ninepatch rendering. add polygon and GUI primitive rendering. start work on shader compiler. add circle rendering. render meshes.

The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. 2D Masking / Clipping. Improved 2D lighting. This is no longer a problem in 4.0,
