Controlling Vertex Positions
Overview
Modifying vertex positions in the vertex shader stage for animation and deformation.
Learning Outcome
You will be able to create simple vertex-based animations like wave effects.
Key Concepts in Controlling Vertex Positions
Modifying vertex positions in the vertex shader stage for animation and deformation.
Practice Drill
Apply what you learned: Take the core concept from this module and write down three ways you could use controlling vertex positions in a real shader graph & vfx project. For each, note one potential challenge and how you would overcome it.
Worked Example
Scenario: You are working on a shader graph & vfx task and need to apply controlling vertex positions.
Step-by-step: 1) Identify the key variables. 2) Apply the core principle from this module. 3) Verify your result against expected outcomes. 4) Document your approach for future reference.
