Summary - Shader

Reinforce shader usage with a summary task.

Summary: Shader Architecture

In this group, you explored the core shader architecture: programs running in parallel on the GPU, visual creation with Shader Graph, automated lighting in Surface Shaders, parameter exposure via Properties, and the Vertex/Fragment pipeline.

Shader "Custom/FullReview"
{
    Properties { _Color ("Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1) }
    SubShader {
        // Vertex and Fragment passes
    }
}

Selecting the right shader architecture establishes your game's visual fidelity while optimizing its performance budget.

Exercise Shader system review

Define a Start method. Inside, declare string shaderAdi = "Custom/SurfaceShader"; and print "Shader yuklendi: " + shaderAdi to the console.

Show example solution

using UnityEngine;

public class ShaderSummary : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        string shaderAdi = "Custom/SurfaceShader";
        Debug.Log("Shader yuklendi: " + shaderAdi);
    }
}

Test yourself

Which of the following correctly describes the data processing sequence in a graphics pipeline?
- Vertex Shader -> Rasterization -> Fragment Shader
- Pixel Coloring -> Rasterization -> Vertex Transformation
- AudioSource -> Fragment Shader -> Vertex Shader
- Fragment Shader -> Vertex Shader -> Model Geometry
Show answer

Vertex Shader -> Rasterization -> Fragment Shader — In the pipeline, vertex positions are transformed first (Vertex), then geometry is discretized into pixels (Rasterization), and lastly pixel colors are determined (Fragment).

Material color update

material.Set____("_Color", Color.white);

Show answer

material.SetColor("_Color", Color.white);
