| Other Digital Version | 47 Note Paragraph before Color Combination |
"Examples and source code for of each of the shader types discussed in this chapter can be found in the Shazzam Shader Editor." This particular note should be moved to a location near the start of this chapter (perhaps right before A Word About Pseudocode) so the reader can learn early on that examples and source code can be referenced using this software. This is important information and should not be relegated to a small side note 12 pages into the chapter. Having the chance to have the software running and see examples while the chapter is being read can be very helpful. |
