Shader Animation Studio for Unity

Shader Animation Studio is a Unity Editor extension that allows you to create mesh animations that control the position, rotation, and scale of individual sections of a single mesh as if they were individual parts allowing you to create a wide ranges effects for your models.

The animations are baked into the mesh itself and executed entirely on the GPU using the custom shader, which means no skinned mesh renderer is needed and your CPU is free to be used on your game logic.

The best part is Shader Animation Studio allows you to do all of this right inside the unity editor, using existing meshes and prefabs that you have to start creating new animations.

Look forward to Shader Animation Studio coming to the Unity Asset Store soon!
