Learn how to make OpenGL shaders using the programming language GLSL, and gain insight on how the top websites use hardware-enabled graphics.

More

Get to know one of the most cutting-edge parts of the web right now: OpenGL shaders. The top websites are using them in their web designs but most sites aren’t due to the lack of understanding about how to use them.

In this course, we’ll show you how to make shaders from scratch using the programming language, GLSL, along with everything you need to know about uniforms, vertex and fragments, and then how to apply them to both 2D and 3D projects on the web.

  • What a shader is exactly and how to write GLSL code
  • What uniforms, vertex and fragment shaders are
  • How to apply GLSL code to the web using GlslCanvas and Three.js
  • How to connect web events like mouse movement and scroll to our shader code using Javascript
  • Quick mathematical techniques for producing stunning graphics
  • How to use procedural noise and randomness to create changeable graphics
