Hi,
I am new here from VFX in the movie industry.
My career interest has been shifted to realtime graphics, so I wonder if there are any good learning materials for game effects such as tutorials for particles and related shadings.
I have found this one pretty good though:
I am a houdini and maya user for effects, learning unity3d these days.
Any comment and advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome!
Real time VFX imo are a bit more smoke and mirrors than pre-rendered however a lot of the skills and certainly the fundamentals should transfer quite nicely.
I’ve found @Sirhaian tutorials for Unity particles to be quite nice for getting a jump start into Unity’s particle systems for effects.
For shader application Makin’ Stuff Look Good is a nice jump into how to both write shaders, the basics of what a shader actually does to the hardware and some of the sweet applications of shaders in realtime.
Hope some of these help you get into it.
I only gave Unity specific ones as you said that’s what you’d be using but you can learn a lot from how other engines handle their FX as well
If you’re coming from film VFX it might be helpful to think of the “real-time” aspect of it replacing the compositing step.
Realtime material is similar to houdini’s shop shader
Thanks for the info~!
Hope i can grow up soon with such kind of materials to contribute here like you. 
Hi guys,
I would like to contribute with my own blog post about shaders and ShaderForge - http://blog.nordeus.com/art/50-shaders-of-forge-prototyping-with-shader-forge.htm
I hope it will be useful.
Wow, where was this when I was first learning Shader Forge? Great stuff!
man, that’s awesome. thanks for sharing~!!
Glad you like it guys 
Do ask if you have any questions or maybe some ideas for future shaders.
