I absolutely loved Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform! It completely changed my perspective on Shaders. At first I wasn't sure about Shaders, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains GLSL is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Game Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Development feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Fairy Tale Re-Interpreter
Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform offers a compelling take on Shaders, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Shader Art is excellent, I found the sections on OpenGL & Vulkan less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Computer Graphics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for DirectX will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computer Graphics, if not the definitive work.
