Question I have three related questions about cameras and device resolutions...

1) Say I'm designing a game for a device resolution of 2960 x 1440. And I have a background image centered with the camera's orthographic view. The camera's size is set to half of the height of the screen, divided by 100 pixels per unit. So the camera size would be 14.8. From what I understand, that would make the background image pixel perfect. Is that correct?

2) If I also want to have the game available on a device that has a resolution of 2560 x 1312, should I create a script that will analyze the size of the device running the game and lower the size of the camera to 12.8 when necessary? (I understand this will cut off some of the image from view.)

3) If I don't create that script to analyze the size of the device, if the device running the game is 2560 x 1312, would the background image no longer be pixel perfect? (More pixels would need to be represented than there would be space for, so I don't see how it could be pixel perfect...)

 

Here are some notes on UI Anchoring, Scaling, CanvasScaler, etc:

Usually you need to choose a suitable ScaleMode and MatchMode in the Canvas Scaler and stick with it 100%. Generally if you change those settings you will often need to redo your UI entirely.

I also use this

CanvasScalerOrientationDriver

utility to make sharing UI for Landscape / Portrait easier. Read what it does carefully.

My fault, I didn't specify before. But, do you have any advice for me on this topic, but more specifically to non-canvas and non-UI?

 

use this formula for the camera

Code (CSharp):

1. ((Screen.currentResolution.height) / (scale * PPU)) * 0.5f

if your background image ceases to be the same size of the screen resolution it will also cease to display pixel perfect, unless you create perfect conditions

 

Thanks!
