Bones & Meshes vs Performance

NMF

Hello fellow Spiners! 😃

So, I'm using Spine to animate a mobile game and I was wondering what's the limit of bones & vertices (meshes), per character, when exporting from Spine to Unity?
I read in Unity Help that, usually, we should keep characters under 30 bones for good mobile performance. But since this is relative to a 3Dimensional game, the number of vertices per character will be much higher than when working with a 2D mesh.

Also, does anyone know if this is only an issue while the character is on screen or is it always drawing power from the processor/graphics card since the moment the level is loaded?

Thanks in advance to all who might "waste" their time helping me. :yes:

P.S. - If you want you can check our game's website here: www.beetlesland.net

Cheers,
Nuno

Spine itself is quite efficient but is easy to strip down to minimum if need be. I have a personal branch of spine unity that can handle 200+ active skeletons of 12 bones each at better than 60fps on my Nexus 4.

Your mileage may vary per feature as all deformation is done on CPU rather than leveraging GPU skinning, but it is pretty good.
