A highly practical asset, its usage is incredibly simple, and the result is beyond expectations. I was amazed when I discovered that baked objects are affected by the surrounding dynamic lights, providing users with an excellent result. This allows you to add a lot of details to the scene without worrying about the game's FPS dropping.

Great asset! Its biggest advantage is the intuitive and well-designed impostor editor, where you can immediately see how the settings affect the result (and there are plenty of them). Creating an impostor takes just a few seconds, without any hassle. I ran into a small issue with texture compression—by default, everything is set to the highest quality, and some formats were unavailable in Optimizer. However, after tweaking ImpostorFormatConverter a bit and enabling the necessary formats in the switch statement, I managed to compress the texture to a suitable size. As far as I understand, the author included only the formats that are guaranteed to work without issues, but as they say, no risk, no reward. Another big plus is that the author is responsive and helps with any problems. Huge thanks to him for that—and for this fantastic asset! Highly recommended!

This is a great asset that, when it works, it works with just a few clicks and gets most everything right. You should take note that the product is advertised as "Works with all rendering pipelines, however, use BiRP". Actually, it didn't work so great with URP and we spent some time with the creator to overcome most of those problems. I believe the major show stopper issue (regarding alpha values) was fixed in an update. It's fully working for me now, but I have to note that I am using a self modified version of the URP ShaderGraph to get the colors right on all my objects, because sometimes the brightness of the objects can behave unexpectedly in different lighting. I haven't used it with other rendering pipelines, but I think the tool could provide some tweaking options. It's really not nice when your impostor e.g. shines way too bright and the parameters don't allow you to get it right. So, four stars for the fact that it does the job, but just could stretch a little bit more to make the path smoother.

If you need to save space Be sure to run the prefabs through the optimizer

You have not seen impostors like this - take my word for it I've tried them all. Mirage takes the crown and it's not even a debate. Demo scene of 10 mil tris running at <30 FPS is now ~500k tris and 120+ FPS. All the background high poly schmut gets turned into a quad plane that interacts with lighting / shadows. Triangle count is still one of the most important things when optimizing, even with all modern GPUs. User interface takes 2 seconds to learn. Lots of presets, every button is explained, very simple to understand. Author evidently cares about his users + ease of use for newbies. Click one button and you have a near identical impostor prefab ready to go (with the right settings). Turn on GPU instancing and you can scatter an entire scene with these impostors at quite literally zero cost / zero added batches. With the right settings you can turn a giant building of 15 mats (which includes all those dozens of textures) + high poly count into a beautiful and tidy prefab that is literally 4 vertices. The materials and textures all get baked into the prefab into 1 mat + 3 textures (albedo, normal, and mask). Billboard plane, tiny prefab, tiny texture size, all baked together into one neat and organized prefab. Nice. Other impostor systems like amplify are buggy, impossible to automate, huge texture waste / materials, which defeats the entire point of optimizing tri count in the first place, and haven't been updated in months. Mirage is king. Bravo to the author for creating this masterpiece. A+++++++++

Pretty solid and easy to use Imposter System, i really can recommend the Devs asset, they are polished and good supported. Mirage + AutoLod Mesh Decimator is worth every penny and more! First I got AutoLod Imposter as i already had AutoLod Mesh Decimator, but after taking with the Dev, Mirage seems to be the better Fit, he was so kind to provide me a discount for Mirage, so i don't have to pay for both imposter Systems, this was my fault and the dev just did it without asking. Discord suppor is very fast and professional.

Compared to the excellent amplify imposers this asset has one huge advantage. And that is a perfect interface. You can generate the impostors including the LOD completely automatically with one click! This is exactly what I was looking for. I can't yet find how to generate an impostor into an existing LOD to the highest LOD and combine it with a decimator, but the automation here is absolutely essential for my choice. FOUND ERRORS ON CREATE FROM PREFAB: Setting the parent of a transform which resides in a Prefab Asset is disabled to prevent data corruption UnityEngine.Transform:SetParent (UnityEngine.Transform) TYPE TO EDIT: Give the option not to automatically create a LOD, but only an impostor, and possibly the option to automatically insert an impostor into the last LOD, like amplify does. I can then insert the impostor into the decimator myself, or tune it at will, and I don't have to delete and disable the automatically created LODs.

Yet again, another super useful asset, Léo does not disappoint. Since using AutoLod - Mesh Decimator, it became a tool i use in every project. Now i've been playing around with this tool and i've been getting great results for the objects i want to use impostors on. Great quality and support aswell. Props to the guy!
