Preface

Learn to create an animated clouds shader! I’ve been fascinated by shaders for a very long time now and learning new tricks is an amazing feeling. Creating shaders is that perfect magical space between art and programming and I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t discovered it. I want to help other people discover this as well, and therefore I made this tutorial.
