    Hi.

    I've been wondering this. Different shaders have different performance impact. But what about when the scene is all statically baked?

    Standard Shader is performing poorly on mobile right now compared to old mobile shaders when it comes to dynamic objects. But what about statically baked lightmapped objects? Does the shader still matter after baking is in effect?

    I am relatively new to this, but from what I understand, yes, it does. Mobile shaders are built with mobile performance targets in mind. So, they are much more lean than the standard shader, which is capable of a lot more. Mobile shaders should typically be faster even if the object to render is completely static.
