    Hey guys, so I am in search of a way to pause and resume rendering. Basically, I want to pause rendering of the game when it is minimized (in background) on mobile phone. I have the trigger to do so when the game is minimized, but I am not sure how to pause the rendering it self. Should I just stop the main loop somehow or is there more correct way?

    P.s Hope I explained the issue well enough. Otherwise please ask questions so I can elaborate more on the issue, I am not the finest speaker. :)

    There's 
    Time.timeScale
    , which will pause or un-pause your game. Unity UIs won't be affected by this, I think.

    Time.timeScale = 1;
    means your game is playing normal
    Time.timeScale = 0;
    means your game is paused

    This tutorial from sitepoint could also help.
