MAG Shader Usage Scanner PRO is a professional Unity Editor tool designed to analyze real shader and material usage inside your loaded scenes, detect heavy shaders, estimate GPU cost, and highlight performance bottlenecks that directly impact FPS and mobile performance.
Instead of guessing which shaders are slowing your game down, this tool gives you instant, structured, and actionable insights into exactly what is used, where it is used, and how expensive it is.
Perfect for mobile optimization, performance debugging, scene complexity analysis, and final build polishing.
What this tool does
- Scans all loaded scenes and analyzes every renderer & material
- Groups data by shader usage
- Shows exact hierarchy paths for every object using each shader
- Detects heavy shaders and materials automatically
- Displays complexity level: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / EXTREME
- Estimates GPU cost: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / VERY HIGH
- Highlights Scene Impact Score based on real usage
- Marks Mobile Killer shaders that severely affect mobile devices
- Identifies performance bottlenecks instantly
- Helps reduce draw calls, GPU load & memory usage
Advanced Performance Intelligence
Each shader is automatically analyzed and labeled using multiple metrics:
- Heavy Shader badge – Instantly highlights expensive shaders
- Mobile Killer badge – Detects shaders harmful for low-end & mobile devices
- Complexity Score – Based on passes, keywords, instancing, GrabPass & shadow usage
- Estimated GPU Cost – Best-effort estimation of rendering cost
- Scene Impact Score – Shows how heavily each shader affects your scene
This gives you clear optimization priorities instead of guesswork.
