Practical articles on CPU, GPU, memory and engineering process optimization.
2021.10 - KISS Dependency Injection, The CullingGroup API, Tile-Based Rendering, Preloading Expensive Shaders
This module is part of the full Unity Performance Taskforce archive. Dependency injection keeps classes honest, the CullingGroup API helps you skip useless work, tile-based rendering keeps the GPU from grinding, and preloading costly shaders stops loading-time freezes. In this module: 1. KISS Depen
2021.09 - KISS Transaction Pattern, Raycasting FTL, Fast Reflection Probes, Advanced Mipmapping Settings
This module is part of the full Unity Performance Taskforce archive. Transaction patterns, raycasting FTL, fast reflection probes, and advanced mipmapping settings are all about the same thing: stop wasting cycles on work the player does not see. This month is where the small wins stack up. In this
2021.08 - KISS Command Pattern, Physics Optimization, Affordable Shadows, Addressables Overview
This module is part of the full Unity Performance Taskforce archive. The command pattern keeps gameplay flow under control, physics optimization keeps the simulation from burning time, affordable shadows keep lighting from getting silly, and the Addressables overview shows how to stop content from
2021.07 - Performance Checklist Q&A, Character Animation, Forward vs Deferred Rendering, Cache Efficiency
This module is part of the full Unity Performance Taskforce archive. This is a practical catch-all month: performance checklist Q&A, character animation, forward vs deferred rendering, and cache efficiency. If the scene looks fine but the frame budget still leaks, this is where you start digging. I
Start Profiting From Texture Compression in Unity
In this blog post, you'll learn what texture compression is, why it is important for your project and how to apply it to improve your GPU and memory performance.
Level of Detail (LOD) Tutorial for Unity 2021+
In this blog post, I will show you why, when and how you should use LOD in Unity. Remember, LOD is not only about the poly count!
2021.06 - Unity Accelerator, CPU Slicing, Squeezing RenderDoc, Texture Filtering & Mipmapping
The first 3 Unity Performance Taskforce modules from 2021 are free for registered members, enjoy! Textures are everywhere, and that means texture filtering and mipmapping are not background details. This month also covers Unity Accelerator, CPU slicing, and squeezing RenderDoc so iteration stays fa
Introduction to The P3 Optimization Framework
You need a higher frame-rate... but how? Introduce yourself to the P3 Optimization Framework
2021.05 - Profiling, Stripping Shader Variants, Efficient Lightmap Settings, Texture Compression
The first 3 Unity Performance Taskforce modules from 2021 are free for registered members, enjoy! Start by profiling so you know where your game is standing, then chase the bottleneck instead of guessing. The rest of the month goes after shader variants, efficient lightmap settings, and texture com
2021.04 - Performance Mindset, DOTS, LODs, Memory Profiling
The first 3 Unity Performance Taskforce modules from 2021 are free for registered members, enjoy! Bad performance is expensive. It hits reviews, platform targets, and the moment you leave it to the end, it turns into a late-stage cleanup problem. This opening month walks through the P3 mindset, DOT
Object Pooling in Unity 2021+
In this blog post I will show you how to use object pooling in Unity 2021 with this new official API so you don't have to mess with 3rd party code that breaks on every Unity upgrade.
