Practical articles on CPU, GPU, memory and engineering process optimization.
Motion Vectors - Get Away With Cheap Upscaling& More: If you are chasing cheap upscaling without understanding motion vectors, you are inviting ghosting, smear, and late-stage visual panic. Motion vectors are not optional once temporal techniques enter your pipeline.
Risk-Reward of AppSw (Application SpaceWarp): If your Quest target is hovering near missed-frame territory, Application SpaceWarp can feel like a lifeline or a visual disaster, depending on how you use it. This module gives you the risk-reward profile before you bet your build.
The Utility of XR Composition Layers: If your VR build stutters during loading or your UI turns unreadable after render-scale cuts, you are paying a comfort tax that players feel immediately. XR composition layers are how you stop that from becoming a launch blocker.
Exploit the right Render Mode tech for your Unity project
From Zero to Perfect CPU Scaling: When your simulation scales badly, adding content pushes you straight into a frame-time cliff. This module shows you exactly how that bottleneck grows and how to break it without hand-wavy advice.
Budget-Friendly Serialization & Deserialization: Nothing destroys trust like a save-system disaster. If your serialization path is slow, allocation-heavy, or migration-hostile, you are building a retention leak into your game.
Texture Arrays — The Forgotten Tool: If your material workflow keeps triggering state-change chaos, you are paying a silent bottleneck every frame. Texture arrays are the forgotten lever that lets you stop swapping texture objects like a panic response.
RenderMode's & Graphics Jobs: If rendering is eating half your frame budget on one thread, you are one content drop away from a hitch storm. This is where render modes stop being “engine trivia” and become a shipping decision.
These are the tools that help us daily in our game performance consulting practice
My Top Tools I Don't Want to Live Without: You are not only losing time in your game loop. You are losing time in your developer loop, and that invisible review tax turns into deadline panic faster than any shader bug.
BatchRendererGroup - Architecting Your Own Draw Calls: If your render thread is burning cycles because you keep issuing the same draw call pattern all frame long, BRG is the point where you stop hoping Unity guesses your intent and start controlling it yourself.
GPU Resident Drawer: When your scene suddenly falls off a frame-time cliff, you do not need another month of random rendering tweaks. You need to know whether your CPU rendering path is the bottleneck and whether GPU Resident Drawer can actually buy you time.
