What it does
Controls animation update rate, interpolation and distant-character fidelity. Large crowds can make animation updates expensive on the CPU.
Games may also call it: Animation Detail, Animation LOD, Character Animation Quality
Decision guide
Lower it when
Lower it when busy scenes hurt 1% lows, CPU frame time is high, or the GPU is not fully used.
Keep it high when
Keep it higher when the effect supports the art direction and performance remains stable.
Handheld advice
On handhelds, test this in the busiest area rather than an empty scene; CPU-heavy options often show up in 1% lows before average FPS.
Restart
Usually not required
Some games still apply changes only after reloading a scene or restarting.
Do not overread the meter
Large crowds can make animation updates expensive on the CPU. This score is an editorial cross-game estimate, not a measured result for every engine.
