Back when I was a free user I created my own profiler. Its not that useful to me anymore but it seems like its one of the most heavily missed features for Unity free users.
Poor Mans Profiler is a profiling tools that works in a similar way to Unity Pro profiler. Unlike other packages I have seen it requires no code editing. Hit Start Profiling and it works.It also has features like visual representations, hierarchy of calls, view individual instance data, etc.
Its still a long way from being ready for prime time, but hopefully I will keep the forward movement going.
Looks like the screenshot is broken, or missing. I’m really interested in seeing how this works, as I’ve been contemplating best approaches to profiling in Unity Free for a while now.
There are a few on the asset store, but the ones I have seen require you to add code to start and end profiling of a block of code. Not only is this time consuming it means you wont get hierarchical dependency unless you also add profiling code to the functions called from your profiled code.
However if you have an immediate need then these tools may still be well worth it I really can’t see this being ready for at least a few months.*
Not sure why the image isn’t working but I should be adding some stuff to my site soon in which case I will post a link.
I can’t vouch for the quality of these products as I haven’t used them.
Shameless bump… if you are interested in this please post… its going to take a bit of effort to get it ready and I probably wont bother if no one wants it!
