Rendering

A series about understanding Unity's default rendering pipeline. How a mesh turns into pixels that look like real objects. Note that these tutorials are quite old and covers Unity's Built-in render pipeline, which is on its way out. The concepts and techniques are still useful to know, but the specific approaches can be considered deprecated.
