Shader.Find can be used to switch to another shader without having to keep a reference to the shader.
name is the name you can see in the shader popup of any material.
Common names are: "Diffuse", "Bumped Diffuse", "VertexLit", "Transparent/Diffuse" etc.
When building a player, a shader will only be included if it is assigned to a material that is used in any scene or if the shader is placed in a "Resources" folder.
