Skinner
Special Effects with Skinned Mesh in Unity
...Instead of duplicating mesh data on the CPU, it employs a replacement shader to stream vertex positions into GPU-friendly buffers, conserving memory and CPU cycles. With those GPU-side buffers, Skinner can drive effects like trails, particles, or geometry that react to the underlying skinned animation in sophisticated ways. The approach enables complex, performant visuals that stay in sync with character motion. It is especially useful for stylized effects where meshes emit data continuously as they deform. The repository exemplifies Keijiro’s focus on GPU-first pipelines and clear, self-contained Unity samples.
