GLSL & Shaders Tutorial - Understanding The Syntax And The Idea Behind The Vertex & Fragment Shaders
By the end of this video, you'll have a solid understanding of the GLSL ES language's syntax. And also the whats and hows behind shaders, the vertex and fragment shaders more precisely.

Written version of this tutorial: waelyasmina.net/articles/glsl-and-shaders-tutorial-for-beginners-webgl-threejs/ A few mistakes I made in the video: 05:58 there's a missing dot. wrong: float f = matB[0]y; correct: float f = matB[0].y; 08:12 wrong function return. wrong: return vec2(1.0, 2.0); correct: return vec2(x, y); 10:38 we can't set precision to vectors and matrices. wrong: precision highp vec2; correct: precision highp int; correct: precision highp sampler2D;
great tutorial, I'm stuck with glsl for weeks. This video is really helpful
Man this tutorial was the best one ever! You have done a tremendous job! 👍
Honestly,this was a very simple and easy to understand tutorial. It really helped me and good video. I wanted to code shaders on glsl but I didn't understand it properly now because of the tutorial I have no confusions
you are a great instructor! I am a mechanical engineer with limited js knowledge and your videos helped me build a fun website thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video! Have been looking for something like this for weeks, there is surprisingly little content about GLSL on youtube.

You're welcome! Yes there's a shortage in terms of GLSL tutorials but I'll try to make more whenever I learn or come up with something worth making a tutorial on.
I've struggling to learn GLSL for some years by now. Your tutorial was the best I've seen in this time. Very concise and didactic. Not only that, it really inspired me to take another chance. Thank you so much for this, dude. Excellent work!

Dude, I had this wet dream of me drawing tasty animations with shaders and this video got me to a “good enough” level in 20minutes! Thank you!
Thank you
Very Good Tutorial, you help me understand that vertex shader will execute the same times of the count of the vertices.That is very important.So, how much times will the fragment shader execute? Does it depends on the resolution of the canvas?
@WaelYasmina

Thank you! Generally speaking 1 fragment = 1 pixel. Thus the fragment shader is executed the number of pixels times. Sometimes 1 pixel > 1 fragment. Thus the fragment shader is executed more times than the number of pixels.

Thanks for making shaders a let harrowing concept :) At 24:10, how come the vec4 know that float effect is v3? I mean we are only putting a sin function in float effect, so isnt it a single value?
@WaelYasmina
2 жыл бұрын
effect is actually a single float value since abs(sin(texture.x + u_time)) returns a single float value. You know sin() returns a value between -1 and 1. vec3(effect) is the same as vec3(effect, effect, effect).

@@WaelYasmina why I was worried is in oneof the shader videos I saw, the uploader got an error in console that was something like, 3 arguments expected 2 supplied. Something like this.
Excellent content Wael! Quick question about usage of GLSL: couldn't we simply use Three to do most of what you've created in this video ? Thanks

Thank you Oliver! You mean the examples? I think it's possible to replicate the 1st example without using GLSL. However when it comes to the color gradient and masking I don't think it is possible as far as I know. Anyways even though we have the ability to create cool things without GLSL & shaders they still a must learn if you want to create some high level stuff.
You have an amazing font in this video, source may be appreciated

Wael do you have courses at udemy or any othre platform?? because u should... i want to support you!! Also for anyone trying, on 17:19 substitute like this for a cool example vec3 newPosition = vec3(position.x, position.y, newZ)

Okay, I know MUCH MUCH more than I did... But.. I am still lost.. I just seem to have some mental block when it comes to the GL shader stuff.. I might be able to understand it more if there was a "copy/paste GL stuff" and be able to see what the equivalent code would be in JS.. Though, if half of the stuff is doing what I think it's doing, that may not help.
maybe, this lession is WebGL (vertex and shader...)?
