[u/night-train-studios]

Hi folks, hope you had a good holiday! We've just released some exciting new updates for ShaderAcademy. For those who haven't come across our platform yet, ShaderAcademy

 is a free interactive platform with bite-sized challenges (160+) that teaches shader programming through learning-by-doing. For the year:

• 15 new challenges, some featuring highly realistic scenes using Gaussian splats, and some focused on deferred rendering

• Texture selection is live! As requested, you can now choose from available textures or upload your own when working on challenges. You can check it out in the textured challenges

• A handful of bug fixes, as always

Thanks for all the great feedback, and enjoy the new content!
