Can u provide benchmark test scene

Hey! Sure. Clone this project https://github.com/LightSideKittens/unitext-unity-project and go to Assets/UniText.Test/BenchmarkWorkshop/UniText_BenchmarkTest.unity . That's it❤️

Hi! Thank you for the link. Have you considered adding benchmarks and tests to the current package repo? At the very least, I think that visible benchmarks could encourage a larger percentage of developers to explore UniText closer =)
And thank you for all your hard work❤️

I think you’re right! I’ll get back to this once I finish working on UniText 2.0.0 (I’m planning to release it this weekend). It’s going to be a completely new product🔥

Now Im excited to hear about it. We're evaluating using Unitext very seriously for what it brings to the table, but will wait for this 2.0.0 to take a more informed decision.

Yes I fully agree with you

UniText 2.0.0 highlights

New rendering capabilities

• Improved memory management for rasterized glyphs

• Dynamic glyph rendering with two new (revolutionary) modes that, to my knowledge, no one has done before:

  • Propagated Signed Distance Field (pSDF)
  • Propagated Multi-channel Signed Distance Field (pMSDF)

Font support

• Font Family support
• Variable Fonts support

Language & text processing

• Dictionary-based word segmentation for languages like Thai, where there are no spaces and words must be split using a dedicated dictionary

Styling & workflow improvements

• Simplified and improved modifier workflow

• Materials and UniTextAppearance have been completely removed

  • No more creating extra, unnecessary assets

• Styles are now configured directly on components and can be applied:

  • to the whole text, or
  • to specific text ranges (per-span styling)

• This means you can apply different outlines, shadows, etc. to individual parts of the same text

Performance

• Draw calls reduced from n to 1, where n is the number of fonts used (more precisely: the number of font textures used in the scene)

Quality notes

• Glyph quality is close to ideal, but minor artifacts can still appear
  This is largely a characteristic of SDF/MSDF algorithms. TextMeshPro also has artifacts

And more

• Plus many other improvements
