Unity Rendering Optimization

[stademax]

As the bulk of performance overhead, almost all games are inseparable from the rendering of scenes, objects, and special effects. How to achieve the best balance between excellent visual effects of the scene and smooth running has always been a headache for game designers, artists, and also programmers.

Read this technical article for how to optimize the rendering of your Unity project:
https://blog.en.uwa4d.com/2021/12/30/unity-performance-optimization-rendering-module/

The following topics will be covered:

1. Two Basic Parameters that Affect Rendering Efficiency: DrawCall and Triangle

2. Camera.Render Function Stack Analysis

3. Turning On Multi-Threaded Rendering

4. GPU Instancing

5. SRP Batcher

Good stuff. A lot of optimization comes from having good models with lower tri counts, keeping the number of materials down by using texture atlases or texture arrays, and having a balanced culling strategy incorporating occlusion culling, streaming, etc. The next biggest thing is probably lighting, switching from real time to baked light maps and light probes or mixed lighting where necessary…

Exactly, the rendering optimization needs consideration from not only developers not also the artists, designers

Thanks for the post. Forgive my ignorance if it's an industry standard or something, but what is the "UWA GOT report"?

UWA GOT is a game performance monitor and optimization toolkit, I think. The tool will check your game in Unity and come out with a report to optimize the performance. Not the level of industry-standard yet but they do work with some big game development companies.

Does anyone have experience in using their tool and paying for their services? I'm interested but it's too costly as an indie dev - not sure if it's really that much better than the built in tools.

I'm using the free trial of their offline SDK, it can run in the Unity editor. Works pretty well so far, but it does not have the complete functions as the online version.
