1.1 序列帧动画

序列帧动画的精髓在于,我们需要在每个时刻计算该时刻下应该播放的关键帧的位置,并对该关键桢进行纹理采样。

	Properties {
		_Color ("Color Tint", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)
		_MainTex ("Image Sequence", 2D) = "white" {} //上图的纹理,包含8*8的帧图像
    	_HorizontalAmount ("Horizontal Amount", Float) = 4 //水平纹理数
    	_VerticalAmount ("Vertical Amount", Float) = 4 //垂直纹理数
    	_Speed ("Speed", Range(1, 100)) = 30 //播放速度
	}
	SubShader {
		Tags {"Queue"="Transparent" "IgnoreProjector"="True" "RenderType"="Transparent"} // 由于序列帧图像通常包含了透明通道,因此可以被当成是一个半透明对象。在这里我们使用半透明的“标配”来设置它的SubShader标签,即把Queue和RenderType设置成Transparent,把IgnoreProj ector设翌为True。

1.3.3 注意事项

  1. 在模型空间下进行了顶点动画需要取消批处理,取消批处理会带来一定的性能下降,增加了DrawCall, 因此我们应该尽量避免使用模型空间下的一些绝对位置和方向来进行计算,在广告牌的例子中,为了避免显式使用模型空间的中心来作为铀点,我们可以利用顶点颜色来存储每个顶点到铀点的距离值,这种做法在商业游戏中很常见。
  2. 如果我们想要对包含了顶点动画的物体添加阴影,使用内置的Diffuse等包含的阴影Pass来渲染,就得不到正确的阴影效果(这里指的是无法向其他物体正确地投射阴影)。这是因为,我们讲过Unity的阴影绘制需要调用一个ShadowCasterPass, 而如果直接使用这些内置的ShadowCasterPass, 这个Pass中并没有进行相关的顶点动画,因此Unity会仍然按照原来的顶点位置来计算阴影,这并不是我们希望看到的。这时,我们就需要提供一个自定义的ShadowCasterPass, 在这个Pass中,我们将进行同样的顶点变换过程。
