Performance of the URP Version of the Cubism SDK for Unity

Updated: 10/29/2026

In Cubism 5 SDK for Unity R6, we made changes primarily aimed at improving performance for models created in Cubism 5.2 or earlier.
This page presents performance measurement results for three models, one created in Cubism 5.2 without a mask, one created in Cubism 5.2 with a mask, and one created in Cubism 5.2 with a mask.

For details on the changes in each version, please refer to the “Update history” section of “Cubism SDK for Unity.”
