P-172: Unity: Space Environment: Part 17

I have followed a simple tutorial (HERE) to make a mirror in unity.

This worked out well, and I also learned a little about Unity’s shader system in the process. It seems to use it’s own proprietary language called “Shaderlab”, but does allow for Cg shaders to be written within it.

I wrote the shader for my Spherical Terrain project in HLSL, so this will need to be ported, but it is quite simple, so it shouldn’t be a problem. It may actually be easier to write it in “Surface”, because I then wouldn’t need a separate Vertex and Pixel shader file.

Again, the shader system in Unity seems very easy to learn and use, which is encouraging.
