Introducing Mirage Pro - Runtime Impostors Baking System v1.0, the next evolution in the Mirage ecosystem. Built on the foundation of Mirage's versatility, ease of use, and performance, Mirage Pro introduces true runtime baking, enabling dynamic worlds where impostors can be generated on the fly.
This powerful system allows developers to bake impostors at runtime entirely through C#, making it ideal for massive procedural environments, streaming worlds, and dynamic simulations. With Mirage Pro, you gain access to the full feature set of the base Mirage package—including dramatic reductions in triangles and draw calls, significant FPS improvements (up to 10× in dense scenes), and seamless compatibility across platforms.
Key capabilities include:
- Works on any Unity version from 2021.3 onward
- Compatible with BiRP, URP, and any shader
- Supports multi-object baking into a single impostor with smooth or sharp interpolation
- Offers two lighting modes: surface estimation or baked lighting
- Fully VR-ready, stereo and instancing compatible
- Lightweight, dependency-free, and non-intrusive
Runtime baking is fully functional in builds, supporting platforms that support RenderTextures and standard Unity shaders. While current baking times range from 0.5 to several seconds per impostor, a coroutine-based solution is under development to enable non-blocking, gameplay-optimized baking.
Runtime and editor baking can be used together—bake static assets in the editor and generate impostors dynamically during gameplay. Mirage Pro is fully compatible with AutoLOD, allowing seamless integration via the LODGroup contextual menu.
If you already have Mirage in your project, upgrading to Mirage Pro is safe and seamless. It functions as a separate package to prevent conflicts, though redundant files may exist—we recommend keeping either Mirage or Mirage Pro to avoid duplication.
