It’s possible to use Surface ShadersA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary with custom vertex streams, although there are some extra things to be aware of:
appdata_particles.uv. To prevent the automatic handling from causing problems here, be sure to give your UV inputs different names (for example, “texcoord”).Here is the same functionality as the Standard Shader, but in a Surface Shader:
Shader "Particles/Anim Alpha Blend Surface" {
Properties {
_Color ("Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_MainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
_Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
_Metallic ("Metallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
}

void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutputStandard o) {
fixed4 colA = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex);
fixed4 colB = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.texcoord1);
fixed4 c = 2.0f * IN.color * lerp(colA, colB, IN.blend) * _Color;
o.Albedo = c.rgb;
// Metallic and smoothness come from slider variables
o.Metallic = _Metallic;
o.Smoothness = _Glossiness;
o.Alpha = c.a;
