Get a flat look with one click, without touching your mesh!
- Simple!
- Uses surface shaders, so it supports all lightning stuff out of the box
- Cross-platform
- Easy to integrate it in your own surface shader
If you create a cube in Unity, you'll get a mesh with 24 vertices, instead of the 8 you'd expect from a normal cube. The additional vertices are added to ensure that each triangle is made of up three vertices with the same normal.
The thing is that, in my case, I wanted to render some text per vertex without having to write extra ugly code to avoid repeated vertices, so I was looking for a solution that would give me a flat-looking cube without the need for extra vertices.
The FlatShading component switches between the original material and the flat shading one.
