Optimizing animation files
Animations play a vital role in creating immersive and engaging experiences in games and VR applications. However, they can also significantly impact performance if not optimized effectively. By utilizing proper optimization techniques, developers can enhance the performance of animations in Unity, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay or VR experiences for users.
High-frame-rate animations can consume substantial resources, leading to decreased performance. It’s essential to evaluate the current frame rate of your animations to identify potential areas for optimization. To improve performance, consider lowering the frame rate of animations in the Timeline. This will reduce resource consumption and lead to a more responsive experience. For optimal performance on the target device, aim for animations to run at 90 fps.
The best way to optimize our animation files is to reduce the keyframes. We will explore that in the next section.
