Learn some of the basics of Vertex Displacement in ShaderGraph in this beginner-friendly tutorial!
In this video you'll create 2 shaders to manipulate the vertex positions of an object to create a "breathing" effect and a displacement effect. I encourage you to take what you've learned here and play around with some more nodes to create other cool effects!
