Here is an example of an animated flip-book ShaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary. It uses the default inputs (Position, NormalThe direction perpendicular to the surface of a mesh, represented by a Vector. Unity uses normals to determine object orientation and apply shading. More info
See in Glossary, Color, UV), but also uses two additional streams for the second UV stream (UV2) and the flip-book frame information (AnimBlend).

Properties {
_TintColor ("Tint Color", Color) = (0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5)
_MainTex ("Particle Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
