My team is using a curvy generator to create cables by duplicating and deforming a single mesh segment along a spline. That gets baked down into one static mesh with a custom shader.
I'd like to be able to access the data about the meshes "progress" along the curve in the shader. Either with another set of UVs that maps 0 - 1 to the progress along the curve, a single color channel that does the same, or an index of the mesh copy. Are any of these possible?
