An anti-tiling/Voronoi shader for Unity

Here's a Unity shader implementation of the Voronoi/anti-tiling stuff. This is based on the Legacy Bumped Diffuse shader, because I use it a ton, but you could just as easily apply it to any other shader. The meat of it is this...

Making a tiling texture look less ugly

There's a lot of ways of doing this, but I'm going to focus on Voronoi diagrams. Don't know the term? Well, you've probably seen one. Looks like this:

Time to pick ANOTHER birb!

Ok, the winner of last poll was: Lilac Breasted Roller! That'll be in-progress once Alex recovers from EGX. SkateBIRD was in the Leftfield collection, and Alex ducked in to get a sense of how excited people were (in short: extremely), and I believe they're still pretty exhausted.
BUT NOW WE...

Spawn Pooling bonus code

These are just some of the many, many scripts I've built that I use a lot in spawning and despawning stuff. These should all be drop-in functional with PoolManager, unless they've changed their message names on the latest version or something.

This one's important enough I'm leaving it public, because folks may not realize this (and it can hose a build).
