running spine using threads

dreamau

Hi guys,

I have a system using spine 4 runtime in Unity, and in a performance test I have 50 characters on the screen. On Google Pixel 3A I can see that SkeletonAnimation.Update (bone updates?) takes about 4.5ms all up, and SkeletonAnimation,LateUpdate (mesh skinning?) about 7ms.

I wonder if you have any plans on improvements here. Perhaps using a job system to offload some of the work to separate threads? I'll take anything to get some improvements.

Yes! You can find the issue ticket here on our roadmap.

We are actually already preparing the main skeleton components (SkeletonAnimation, SkeletonMecanim and SkeletonGraphic) for parallelization in a larger restructuring task, which will be part of the 4.1-beta branch (which will be available soon after the 4.0 release). Based on this restructuring task, we will then add parallelization as a second step.
