Become a Unity Shaders Guru. Create advanced game visuals using code and graphs in Unity 2022
Mina Pecheux
Do you really know all the ins-and-outs of Unity shaders? It’s time to step up your Unity game and dive into the new URP render pipeline, the Shader Graph tool, and advanced shading techniques to bring out the beauty of your 2D/3D game projects!Become a Unity Shaders Guru is here to help you transition from the built-in render pipeline to the SRP pipelines and learn the latest shading tools. With it, you’ll dive deeper into Unity shaders by understanding the essential concepts through practical examples. First, you’ll discover how to create a simple shading model in the Unity built-in render pipeline, and then in the Unity URP render pipeline and Shader Graph while learning about the practical applications of both. You’ll explore common game shader techniques, ranging from interior mapping to adding neon outlines on a sprite or simulating the wobble of a fish. You’ll also learn about alternative rendering techniques, like Ray Marching.By the end of this book, you’ll have learned to create a wide variety of 2D and 3D shaders with Unity’s URP pipeline (both in HLSL code and with the Shader Graph tool), and be well-versed with some optimization tricks to make your games friendly for low-tier devices as well.

Biblioteki cyfrowe: tworzenie, zarządzanie, odbiór
Barbara Maria Morawiec
Postaw na nowe technologie — sprawdź, jak powinna działać nowoczesna biblioteka! Od wielu lat zarówno poważne ośrodki naukowe, jak i media zajmujące się badaniami czytelnictwa w Polsce biją na alarm — jako społeczeństwo coraz mniej czytamy, a to niekorzystnie odbija się na ogólnym poziomie inteligencji i kultury. Ta zatrważająca tendencja ma pewnie wiele źródeł, ale jednym z najważniejszych jest zmiana nawyków czytelniczych i głębsze zanurzenie potencjalnych czytelników w świat cyfrowy. Nowoczesna biblioteka nie może więc pozostawać strukturą analogową. Wręcz przeciwnie, powinna udostępniać swoje zbiory, zwłaszcza te najcenniejsze, w postaci cyfrowej. Jeśli chcesz przekonać się, jak wygląda to w praktyce i jak wypada konfrontacja projektów architektów cyfrowych systemów bibliotecznych z oczekiwaniami użytkowników, ta książka Ci w tym pomoże. Znajdziesz tu informacje na temat funkcjonowania konkretnych bibliotek cyfrowych oraz tego, jak realizują one swoją podstawową funkcję udostępniania zbiorów. Zobaczysz, jak przebiega proces budowy takiej biblioteki, jacy interesariusze biorą udział w tym procesie i jak to wszystko wpływa na funkcjonalność biblioteki dla użytkownika. Fundamentalne znaczenie ma tu wskazanie różnych punktów widzenia, zderzenie koncepcji z potrzebami odbiorców, analiza zachowań i przepływu informacji. Każdy, kto chce zrozumieć kluczowe funkcje biblioteki cyfrowej i wykorzystać je w praktyce, powinien najpierw przeczytać tę książkę. W jakim celu jest tworzona biblioteka cyfrowa oraz jakie funkcje może ona pełnić? Jak przedstawia się organizacja pracy w zespołach bibliotek cyfrowych? Jak przebiega proces digitalizacji? Kim jest architekt biblioteki cyfrowej i jakie role pełni przy jej tworzeniu? Jakie kompetencje powinien mieć architekt biblioteki cyfrowej? Jak użytkownicy bibliotek cyfrowych oceniają te biblioteki? W jaki sposób użytkownicy korzystają z zasobów bibliotek cyfrowych? Jakie są potrzeby oraz zachowania informacyjne użytkownika biblioteki cyfrowej? Jakie problemy napotykają użytkownicy bibliotek cyfrowych podczas korzystania ze zbiorów? Kim jest użytkownik biblioteki cyfrowej? Stwórz bibliotekę cyfrową, z której każdy będzie chciał korzystać!
