Is using shader materials in your project a performance hit?

While figuring it out, not sure how it all works, the question is if using shader materials in your project is more hit to performance or not?

For my current project i plan to use the material from https://godotforums.org/d/43660-imphenzia-pixpal-import-material-setup-in-godot-4/3

There will be one material, and only UV's will differ across the meshes.

This is a very interesting question. I planned to use shaders in my project to reduce the load.

For example, instead of using an 8K-16K texture for skin, I would create a composite material from a low texture and a shader. I believe this should reduce the requirements, but I haven't tested it in practice.
