Let's gather our assets together so that we can create the code for our Vertex Shader:
- Create a new scene and place a plane mesh in the center of the scene (GameObject | 3D Objects | Plane).
The Plane object created may seem to be a single quad but, in fact, has 121 verts, which we are going to be moving. Using a quad would provide unexpected results. To check for yourself, select the Plane object and, under the Plane (Mesh Filter) component, double-click on the Mesh property.
- Create a new shader (VertexAnimation) and material (VertexAnimationMat).
- Finally, assign the shader to the material and the material to the plane mesh.
Your scene should look similar to the following screenshot:
