"MinionsArt Tutorials" offers a variety of tutorials for shaders/shadergraph

Shader creation and other game dev tips and tricks in Unity and Unreal. My opinions are my own and do not represent the positions of my employer. Ben Cloward has been a game dev for over 20 years and has been creating shaders since 2003. He was a co-creator of ShaderFX, a plugin (originally for 3ds Max) that allows artists to create real-time shaders using a node-based interface. ShaderFX is now built in to Max and Maya as the main way that real-time shaders are created. Ben was the original author of the Uber shader used in Maya's viewport. In 2007, Ben joined Bioware in Austin, Texas as a Cg Supervisor focused on graphics, performance, and shaders - on titles such as Star Wars The Old Republic, and Anthem. Ben now works for Unity on the Shader Graph team. Ben has given numerous talks at industry events such as Siggraph, and GDC. He loves to share what he has learned.

Blender Studio developed a pipeline for transferring assets between Blender and Godot using glTF, leveraging Blender's collection export feature. Custom code handled asset separation and data exchange, ensuring efficient collaboration among a team. The process involved automated export from Blender, including ID assignment and collision data, and automated import into Godot, recreating the asset hierarchy. Challenges included managing a central asset index and material duplication; future improvements aim for a more decentralized approach and potentially utilizing glTF extensions. The resulting workflow, while a prototype, is shared to encourage further development of Blender-Godot integration.
