How To Test Scene At 1536

Hi There,
I want to build pixel perfect huds for each device. From what I know, in a 2D, orthographic environment, pixel perfect is achieved by setting the camera size to half that of the screen height.

If this is true, I have a component that I can set the sprite to be pixel perfect and it, the sprite will adjust accordingly. I will however, need to adjust the sprites position as the resizing will cause issues of crowding if I don't.

So, what I am wondering is, since I do not have a device that is screen height 640, or 1536, and Unity does not seem to have a setting for 1536, how do I test the scene for a device at 1536?


Also, are my theories correct as for as achieving pixel perfect goes? If not, please let me know.



Many thanks,
Ren

 

I test with 768 (non-retina iPad). If a texture works there. A texture double the size should work at 1536. e.g. Test with a 1024x1024 texture at 768. Deploy with a 2048x2048 texture for 1536.

I do have a 1536 device to check on, and it usually works. It would be scary without.

 

So, if a texture is pushed to its scale limits of still looking good on a screen resolution of 768, will it look half as good on a 1536?

 

It would look fairly similar to on a 768 screen. But users with a 1536 screen are used to graphics that make use of 1536, so it will look poor to them.

 

So can it be said, with each double in resolution, a sprite, at a fixed quality, will lose half its quality?

 

I'm confused, why are you not simply entering the custom size into the editor with the little plus sign. You can add whatever resolution you like, including iPad retina 2048x1536.

 

No. Double the resolution and there is the potential to increase the quality by doubling the sprite resolution. By not doing that, you are not reducing the quality, you are falling short of the expected increase in quality.

Put simply, you would be standing still while the competition is racing ahead.

Not many people have a computer monitor that has enough space to show 2048x1536.
