Summary
Previously, APV supported only per-pixel quality indirect lighting. This may be unsuitable for a range of mobile devices, as it can lead to APV either being not supported, or running below levels of acceptable performance at runtime.
Use Case/Intended Outcome
With Per-Vertex Quality settings, we enable creators to set a per-vertex quality level for indirect lighting from light probes that enables them to efficiently run light probe lit environments on mobile devices
The following limitations for APV in URP still apply
- Performance on lower-end platforms may still require further optimizations
