I bought Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform on a whim, and it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. The depth of research is impressive, and the practical applications are immediately useful. My team has been implementing strategies from this book, and we're already seeing measurable improvements in our Computer Graphics.

Perfect for beginners and experts alike! Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform covers all the fundamentals before diving into advanced topics. The section on GPU Compute is particularly well done, with clear diagrams and step-by-step instructions.

Wow! Just wow! Shaders Unchained: Writing Powerful Shaders for Every Platform completely changed my perspective. The chapters on OpenGL alone are worth the price of admission. The clear explanations and real-world examples make complex concepts accessible to readers at all levels. The only critique I have is that I wish there was more coverage on HLSL, but that's a minor point in an otherwise excellent resource.
