2d sprite set quality?
« on: August 31, 2020, 05:34:22 AM »
Hi, my game is using 2d sprites and using the set quality doesn't seems to bring down the quality.

How does one adjust the quality setting with 2d games?

What do you mean by set quality? There are easily a dozen settings that influence the sprite quality: a handful on the sprite asset, most importantly pixel per unit, and a few more on the pipeline and project settings.

I am referring to some kind of quality settings that can bring down the quality of the sprites etc low,medium,high. I don't know if playmaker has any of these kind of actions for this.

Can you figure out which setting in Unity you want to control via PlayMaker FSM? :) then it's much easier also for you to look for an action that does that.

Re: 2d sprite set global quality?

Anyone here knows how to set global quality settings for 2d games with sprites?

Tried 'Set master texture limit' & 'Set quality' and didn't see any obvious quality changes.

This is my first 2d unity game, not sure how setting quality works for 2d.

Hi.
For 2D there is no depth so i don't really see a reason to change quality of the sprites :)

Player can change resolution which can increase performance for low end computers.

Some of my sprites are using 4k size, it may not run smoothly on mobile so I am thinking if there is any way to bring down the size to 1 or 2k globally.

Now I am guessing that's no global settings for controlling sprite texture?. I may need to set it individually.
