Newbie question on different sized targets

Unity Engine
1

I want to create a game for many platforms. Is is better to create background graphics PER target or calculate and position at runtime? For performance reasons, I would think you want to create graphics per target but that means I have many backgrounds, many trees, many dogs, etc. Basically each graphic I have in my game would have to be appropriately sized.

If the answer is that, would you have a different project per target or house ALL graphics in a project and only use what you need?

You’ll go crazy if you want to support a lot of platforms and try to make unique assets per platform. In general, have one project, author assets at the maximum size/res you need for your best device, and then come up with some logic the scale/crop/etc your art based on resolution and aspect ratio. That last item comes up constantly here and in Unity answers, so do some searching and you’ll find good ideas.
