Performance issue with multiple characters in Unity VR

[Lasse34853901dirf]

Hey there,

im currently working on an Unity project using my Quest 2. Im using about 20 Mixamo characters in an audience. 5 of them are moving, the other 15 also have another animator applied to speed 0 and set to static. Running the application i have massive lags. If the 15 static characters are disabled, the game runs just fine.

Is there a way to use mixamo chracters + poses without any kind of animation, so the perfomance stays good?

(Btw im new to unity and mixamo, please be kind if im missing some obvious settings)

yes you are missing some obvious settings because Unity is old and its rendoring those 'crowd' characters individually where as a more up to date machinima like iclone will only rendor once and copy/ paste them as many times as needed which saves Ram/ CPU cycles

to answer your question asked yes you can just use static poses and if you search for 'pose' most of your results should have no animation
