Shaders are used to create many effects, like “water”, “fire” and more. Now, focusing on vertices, it’s important to know that each single vertex contains some data, more than its position. Shaders Theory. Now that we’ve scratched the topic of meshes, we can finally talk about shader. Shader Example.

For instance, Unreal Engine uses a mechanism known as the Derived Data Cache (DDC) for this purpose. The Derived Data Cache in Unreal Engine serves as a storage mechanism for data that is computationally expensive to generate. It preserves this data, eliminating the need for regeneration unless any changes occur.
