This video on compute shaders is based on recipes in our newly updated e-book, The Universal Render Pipeline cookbook: recipes for shaders and visual effects for Unity 6. In this tutorial we get familiar with the ComputeBuffer and write a kernel to instantiate particles following the mouse cursor. This is the first video in a 3-part series consisting of the following compute shaders exercises: creating particles on the GPU, creating a flocking simulation, and lastly, a vertex animation exercise. In the e-book you’ll find new recipes giving concrete examples of various techniques useful to most developers. ⭐Download the URP cookbook: Recipes for shaders and visual effects e-book here: ⭐Get the companion sample project to follow along here: ⭐Download the Introduction to URP for advanced creators (Unity 6 edition) e-book here: Find all of Unity’s technical e-books plus more best practices here:
