Vertex Shaders & Tessellation | Unity Shader Code Basics 05

The vertex shader can be used to modify the position of each vertex in your mesh, so with a sine function, we can make basic wave patterns. If your mesh is too low-poly, then tessellation shaders can be used to create new vertices between the old ones, whose vertices can then be moved instead.
