Tri-planar texturing shader example in the Built-In Render Pipeline

For complex or procedural meshes, instead of texturing them using the regular UV coordinates, it is sometimes useful to just “project” texture onto the object from three primary directions. This is called “tri-planar” texturing. The idea is to use surface normal to weight the three texture directions. Here’s the shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
