You don't need to "convert" a shader for mobile. Mobile devices don't require specific shaders different from any other platform. It's only because mobile devices are typically less powerful than desktop PCs or consoles (and mobile games also require less graphic fidelity) that it is common to create "mobile" versions of shaders which are simpler and contain less instructions than their regular shader equivalent - you can think of "mobile" shaders as being "lite" versions of shaders if that's easier.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. I am trying to use this one but nothing appears on mobile.

On my project, i have try all the shader and only the unlit/vertexlit ones works and appears on the screen. Thats why i thought mobile shaders needed specific convertion.

Have you a suggestion ?

Thank you.
