Does pausing animations improve scene performance?

slothwerks

Situation - a scene with about a dozen animated Spine characters. Runs on older mobile devices, but feels 'choppy'.

I was considering have an in-game option to 'improve performance' by pausing all the Spine animations, since they're not really required for the actual gameplay. If I were to pause animations, would that reduce the CPU overhead required by Spine? Or would the effect be minimal, since the Spine skeletons are still present in the scene?

Mostly just looking for a low-effort way I can provide performance or battery improving settings for folks.

You can disable the SkeletonAnimation Component to save both the animation overhead as well as re-generating the mesh.

You can take a look at the Spine Examples/Other Examples/FixedTimestepUpdates example scene that comes with spine-unity. It shows how you can update a skeleton every N frames instead of every frame.

Another way would be to use the RenderExistingMesh component to update every frame and display a copy of another SkeletonAnimation GameObject.

The above solutions are discussed in a bit more detail in this forum thread here:

Will give this a try - thanks for the suggestions and the thread for more info!
