Shader Programming

3D, Animation and Game Development

Shader programming is the practice of writing small programs (shaders) that run on a GPU to control how pixels, vertices, and lighting are rendered in real time, using languages like GLSL, HLSL, or Metal Shading Language. It's used by game developers, graphics engineers, and visual artists to create effects such as lighting, shadows, reflections, and procedural textures. The skill requires understanding of linear algebra, parallel computing, and rendering pipelines, and is core to fields like game development, VFX, and interactive graphics.
