Dynamic Pixels Per Unit

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’m working on a VR project. In the UI, I need to display some text. With the canvas scaler and the “Dynamic Pixels Per Unit” parameter, I manage to have a clean text render. But I’ve some difficulties to understand how it works and what the scaler does?
And what happen if I move the text or give it a different scale, how to choose a new value for the Dynamic Pixels Per Unit? (currently I’m setting it empirically…)

Thank you!

bump.

Dynamic Pixels Per Unit and Font Size seem to be related but it is unclear how. The docs are not helpful.
World Space Canvas width: 5, height: 1
Best Fit is off.

With DPPU at 100 selecting a Font size between 1 and 5 has some impact on the size of the rendered text.
DPPU at 200 Font size 1 or 2. Beyond that, no impact.
DPPU >= 500 Font size has no impact. It can be 0. Doesn’t matter.
