Access render settings during runtime

Help & Support

I’m trying to optimize fps by changing the resolution mode in render settings to fixed and rendering 1/2 the size of the screen. Is there a way to access render settings during runtime?

Hi @noah_mizrahi,

Yes there is a single method which you can use to change both the resolution mode and its width/height, available in your this.app instance:

Perfect. Thank you.

You may also be interested in this project where only the world is rendered at a lower resolution and the UI layer is rendered at standard resolution.

This may help performance while keeping the UI nice and sharp.

I’ve made this little tool to experiment. You can attach to any object in the scene and play with resolution at run time.
