Unity - Introducing System Metrics Mali package

Not a release version, but still allows to be one step closer to native profiling inside the editor without hassle with 3rd party profilers. And generally it becomes easier to profile stuff when you can do everything inside the editor.

GPU-Fog-Particles: Textureless fog particles using a highly customizable shader to attenuate noise values.

The technique is the use of surface depth and camera fading. The opacity of the mesh will fade away when near rendered geometry and as the camera approaches. These values can be tweaked to give a fake volumetric effect to what are otherwise just flat / billboard particles facing the camera.
Surface depth fading in this case is commonly known as "soft particles".

Performance Testing in Unity. Step by step tutorial how to get it running

Probably you’ve heard about Performance Testing package made by Unity, but to be fair their documentation sucks and if you follow it straight your might face some issues. So I want to list the steps I did to have it running and especially how to get results from performance tests after run on a real device, because obviously we don’t want to measure performance of the game only inside the editor.
