This video on compute shaders is based on recipes in our newly updated e-book, The Universal Render Pipeline cookbook: recipes for shaders and visual effects for Unity 6.
In this tutorial we get familiar with the ComputeBuffer and write a kernel to instantiate particles following the mouse cursor.
This is the first video in a 3-part series consisting of the following compute shaders exercises: creating particles on the GPU, creating a flocking simulation, and lastly, a vertex animation exercise.
In the e-book you’ll find new recipes giving concrete examples of various techniques useful to most developers.
