Fastest Frame Rate?

[Colin Holgate]

If the Unity article is correct, 45 fps wouldn’t give you more smoothness than 30 fps. In my tests I’m pretty sure I had 60 fps, but for most things I would be happy enough with 30. Pretty well every film you ever saw, and those seemed smooth enough, were at 24 fps.
