[SOLVED] Which display weapon method is better for performance

[RPaladin]

Hi, two questions:

1. Which display weapon method is better for performance:

World gun, parented to player camera

3D Screen, UI element

2. Do UI Screen elements take into account post-effect shader calculations, if so, is there a way to disable those calculations for those objects.

I don’t see any performance difference between two for a 2D weapon.

Yes, there is a property in the post effects handler which you can use to set the layer at which post effects shading should stop.
