SimonDev Course Announcement! | Course Trailer 

instant purchase- no brainer! I've been procrastinating diving deeper with shaders for a while and I love your videos, so it was the easiest decision ever!

This is exactly the push I needed - I've been hesitant to go into shader programming, but the track record I've had watching and enjoying your content, this can't be anything but a given buy! Great initiative, thank you for providing this, Simon! Now, where is that damn credit card...

/cheer Congrats Simon. I really hope you'll keep it up dude. Just keep on creating your content, creating your courses and promoting them. I'm sure this is the recipe for success. But please never abandon your voice and tone. I personally love how your vids sound like :D /kneel /bow m'lord

I tried shaders before. I was happy to get a rectangle with a smooth transition from color to color. Even managed to make that rectangle into a cube and give each side a color! After doing more research i stumbled upon shadertoy. Well i was disencouraged to continue after... Knowing that WebGPU will be available in the (near) future; this course will definitely strengthen my skills! I know how to code, But the approaches to coding different things is something i will forever keep on learning. Your videos have really taught me a lot of different perspectives. I love how you skim through essential info with your video with a calm, soothing and clear voice. Practical. Keep up the good work can't wait to start this course. And hopefully more to come.

Thank you for this! Watching you work with threejs is inspiring, and always a pleasure.

Great to see more content on this esoteric topic. Count me in!

I've been spending days trying to learn glsl shaders but could not get anywhere. I'm definitely gonna enroll in this course! Thank you so much!

way to go! super excited :)

Hi Simon ; thank you for super high quality content

I was looking for shaders tutorial for some time. Thanks!

Looking forward to this! :D

Instant purchase - very keen for this!

You are the best! I recently started learning glsl and I neede this course

That's a MUST. Shaders. By Simon! Can it get any better? Yuhuu, Simon! Thank you so much!!!

In a few months I will look into this course. I'm having my first vacation in years soon and will not have the time. I know it will be a goldmine!

What a great value. I'll definitely give it a go as soon as my next paycheck comes in.

Looks so good, i hope some day can i Buy it, You are the Best teacher of three js that i've seen

Looks like a great course! When I started learning shaders, it took forever to wrap my head about the different types of shaders, how they worked compared to conventional programming, and how to say (in a shader), what I was trying to say. Definitely would get it if I had the money- if you release it on skillshare in the future, let me know :D (or udemy with their specials- I know it's worth the money, and don't want to undersell your work though, and it's a bit more niche than average courses, so might have less students/ have to charge more per student)

I look forward to this course!

Thank you so much! :)

Yay! I can’t wait!

Enrolled! Great stuff.

Thx for this course

I'm glad someone with your knowledge released a course about it, because at the moment GLSL code looks like completely random letters to me. I'll be busy for a couple of months, but instantly bought it !

Thank you! Bought! :)

Liked video, purchased course and started learning! Thanks

Currently working on a project and realised I have very limited knowledge of GLSL or shaders in general. Perfect timing!

Curiously I feel quite relaxed now :-)

well done man!

Yay!

can't believe i didn't see this until now. take my money. thanks for believing in us JS programmers Simon.

just bought your course and watching it, very informative. I am trying to find solution for edge shader(not wireframe) like "Manifold Garden" game, but cant find anything. Could you give a hint how to do this kind of edge shading?

As a student, the moment isn't quite perfect to me, I'm going to get back to it when I can increase my expenses a bit :-) looks very promising!

First and thank you for all of your tutorials

Lovely ;3

the algo threw your videos my way. I've started learning glsl for godot (it has it's own implementation) and I feel like the learning curve for shader programming is super steep. This course looks very interesting and based on what I saw so far on your channel, the quality is probably very good. I don't know any javascript and I would like to stay within the game engine. do you think that the topics you approach in this course can (easily or directly) be translated into a game engine, godot in my case? thanks

Awesome. Is the SharedArrayBuffer thingy working again?

I've discovered your channel recently, if you ever get around to it, I'd love to see some sort of course on data structures and algorithms and improving efficiency Things like decision making around choosing what data structures for what situation, when to use classes, functional programming (if you know that stuff). I'm an intermediate level programmer, have been programming for maybe 5+ yrs as a hobby, but I want to take it to the next level All of the Udemy courses and even university has not helped me tbh, but you're short videos have been what I need

Oh yeah this is a sign!

Hello, I will purchase this course for sure. But do you cover ray marching in this course?

I'm intrigued, but the price is a bit too steep for me, guess I've been spoiled by 15$ for 30+ hours courses on Udemy. By the way for how long will the early bird coupon apply?

Is this course more geared to actual niche uses of GLSL shaders or is this a course about shaders in general and just using GLSL to code it? I'm more interested in learning shaders for DX3D which obviously uses a different language for shaders but the concepts still seem interesting. Basically: would you recommend buying this course for someone who is not using GLSL much but still wants to learn shader concepts?

Would you always* suggest learning three.js over a pure unabstracted approach? I really want to learn WebGL to make 3D games w/ js, but I also kind of dislike using libraries usually... I find they can impair your growth if abused. Regardless I am interested in trying your course to get my feet wet. fyi; noob to shaders here, programming too

Hi Simon. Any chance that you are planning to include PayPal as a payment option for your course?

THIS! This is something that triggers me so much. Big-O is something to consider when considering performances characteristics of infinitely or *arbitrarily* scaling something. In a lot of cases, you either have some hard boundaries, a rough idea of average expected boundaries, and/or the possibility to yourself constraint it to some value (especially in game). Say the example about particles in a game, even if you want to "optimize" for the general scenario of allowing an infinite amount of them, you will never concretely make "infinite of them", and also at some point there is actually "too much" and culling them would help from a visual point-of-view ON TOP OF from a performance point-of-view. In all of those cases, you can calculate and benchmark according to those limits to find either which algorithm perform the best within those boundaries, or maybe even in some cases two of them depending on the magnitude of X, provided that the checks and other costs (cache miss & etc) of dynamically switching those algorithm is.

I think I'll buy it, GLSL applies to the Godot Game Engine right?

Take my money!!!

Will you have more courses in the future ?! I have some topics I’d like covered :)

Looks like I'm a bit late. I would like to ask if this course has a time limit between start and finish.

Will other payment methods work in the future? paypal or ideal?

Is the applicable for Unreal 5 I need to learn shaders this year and am looking around for good tuts

Wish it is in hlsl so that I can use that knowledge in unity. Although I know the concepts remain the same, I would still need to adapt to different syntax.

Hello, i bought your course but the videos are not working in firefox. I just get a blank page when trying to load them :(- Im using the latest version 101.0.1

I've tried a dozen times and I still get the "This card is declined", from Dubai. The card has no issues as I have used it for multiple online purchaes. Can you check what the issue is..? Thanks.

Hi, are you still teaching this ?

Sounds really well, but 69 usd (because of taxes) is a bit too much for me :( I hope there will be some discounts later.

mhhh I'm interested in purchasing it, but there is no way without a credit card, isn't it? :(

i'm contemplating due to the math thing stated in the course. :(

Shut u…no dont stop, and take my money anyway!)

Too bad I don't have access to a credit card ;(

Step 1 start a yt channel to get an audience, Step 2 sells them shit that's my course to you folks, free of charge

I don't understand why would someone pay for something he could find on youtube for free

hi bro I really need your help every-time I scroll the page the fbx model despair from the de scene what can i do to stop this problem here is the code: const clock = new THREE.Clock(); let mixer; const scene = new THREE.Scene(); const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000); const pt = new THREE.Vector3(0, 1, 2); camera.lookAt(pt); const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer(); renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight ); document.body.appendChild( renderer.domElement ); renderer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio); renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); camera.position.setZ(40); renderer.render(scene, camera); //Background // Lights scene.fog = new THREE.Fog( 0xa0a0a0, 200, 1000 ); const hemiLight = new THREE.HemisphereLight( 0xffffff, 0x444444 ); hemiLight.position.set( 0, 200, 0 ); scene.add( hemiLight ); const dirLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xffffff ); dirLight.position.set( 0, 200, 100 ); dirLight.castShadow = true; dirLight.shadow.camera.top = 180; dirLight.shadow.camera.bottom = - 100; dirLight.shadow.camera.left = - 120; dirLight.shadow.camera.right = 120; scene.add( dirLight ); // Helpers const controls = new OrbitControls(camera, renderer.domElement); controls.target.set(4.5, 0, 4.5 ); controls.enablePan = false; controls.maxPolarAngle = Math.PI/2; controls.enableDamping = true; controls.noPan = true; controls.noKeys = true; controls.noZoom = true; controls.enableZoom = false; // Scroll Animation function moveCamera() { const t = document.body.getBoundingClientRect().top; const currentTimeline = window.pageYOffset/3000 const rx= currentTimeline*Math.PI*2 camera.rotation.set(rx,0,0) camera.position.z = t * -100; camera.position.x = t * 0; camera.position.y = t * 0; } document.body.onscroll = moveCamera; moveCamera(); //load model const loader = new FBXLoader(); loader.load( 'assets/Strut Walking.fbx', function ( object ) { mixer = new THREE.AnimationMixer( object ); const action = mixer.clipAction( object.animations[ 0 ] ); action.play(); object.traverse( function ( child ) { if ( child.type == 'SkinnedMesh' ) { child.frustumCulled = false; } } ); scene.add( object ); } ); function animate() { requestAnimationFrame(animate); const delta = clock.getDelta(); if ( mixer ) mixer.update( delta ); renderer.render( scene, camera ); controls.update(); renderer.render(scene,camera); } animate()

I got a creditcard :D AAAAAAAAAANd now I see paypal has been added as payment method! :O let everyone know!
