**Tip:** You don’t need to write any shader code to use Realtime Shader Manipulator.\
Just assign your material, set the reference name, and control the effect — all directly from the inspector.

## Overview

Realtime Shader Manipulator (RSM) is a Unity tool designed to dynamically control shader float properties at runtime. It provides modular, coroutine-based control for effects such as incremental changes, oscillation (PingPong), and randomisation.

With RSM, you can:

* Trigger, stop, reverse, or reset shader effects.
* Handle individual or multiple materials simultaneously.
* Create custom shader-driven behaviours with ease.
