Check whether a mesh uses the asynchronous upload pipeline

Identify whether Unity is using the synchronous or asynchronous upload pipeline for a specific mesh.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 23 days ago
To identify which upload pipeline Unity is using for a mesh, you can use the Profiler or another profiling tool and observe thread activity and profiler markers.
The following indicate that Unity is using the asynchronous upload pipeline to upload textures or meshes:
  • The 
    AsyncUploadManager.ScheduleAsyncRead
    , 
    AsyncReadManager.ReadFile
    , and 
    Async.DirectTextureLoadBegin
    profiler markers.
  • Activity on the 
    AsyncRead
    thread.
If you do not see this activity, then Unity is not using the asynchronous upload pipeline.
Note that the following profiler markers do not indicate that Unity is using the asynchronous upload pipeline; Unity calls them to check whether any asynchronous upload work needs to occur:
  • Initialization.AsyncUploadTimeSlicedUpdate
  • AsyncUploadManager.AsyncResourceUpload
  • AsyncUploadManager.ScheduleAsyncCommands
