Browsing some extra ideas

To end this chapter, I want to take a bit of time to mention amazing tutorials or resources that show vertex displacement shaders that I think are definitely worth studying to expand your knowledge of this domain. Never forget that learning about shaders (or any domain for that matter) is also about keeping an eye out for what other creators are doing, and what tools or techniques they’re exploring – especially when you get to an advanced level and know all the basics.

So here, we’ll discuss a simple Voronoi-based blob-like deformation shader, an interactive map shader, and a dynamic melting candle shader.

Unity’s official vertex displacement tutorial

If you want to see a very common application of vertex displacement, you can have a look at Unity’s official learning material on vertex displacement shaders, available at: https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/shader-graph-vertex-displacement.

In this quick guide, the...
