Question When use cull update transforms vs always animate

Hi,

When i should select one or other ? Did the logic always run in background and then i can select cull update transforms for everything ? What are the use case for each ?

 

You can read in the API: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimatorCullingMode.CullUpdateTransforms.html

It should give you more performance, although it might not be noticable. For enemies or objects that you don't need to animate when off screen, it's good to use cull completely or cullupdatetransform, which is like a semi-cull option. Less animations playing = more performance.

 

On what you need always animate ?

 

I cant think right now of an example, but there will be some situations where u might want it to always animate.

 

I don't see why

 

For example:
Sometimes you might want to attach things to transforms and you need them to always be in correct position and orientation.
