Turn off the current heatmap, so that you can see your problem area clearly.

The overdraw heatmap shows you where you have a lot of overlapping stuff. In the case of sculptures, the game simply won't draw anything hidden by something else.

But it can't do that with paintings, which have transparency, so don't hide what's behind them. So red and yellow most likely means you have overlapping paint.

This will cause your scene to draw more slowly, so consider simplifying or removing some paintings.

Spotlights are expensive. If you have too many spotlights, some of them will stop working properly, and it can take longer to draw the scene.

So you probably don't want a load of them shining on the same place. In this heatmap, all your spotlights are visible. The colour shows where their beams are overlapping.

The hotter the colour, the more spotlights are covering one place. In red or yellow areas, consider removing spotlights, or spreading their luminous love around more evenly.

Your physics cost is part of your gameplay thermometer, so if that seems high, try using this heatmap to take a look and see what's going on.

Games need moving parts, but if you don't keep an eye on how many you have and how complex they are, you may find your creation will slow down.

The physics heatmap shows you the shape of objects in your scene as far as the underlying physics system is concerned, represented by a collection of spheres.

The spheres' colour indicates how many are needed to represent the object. The more spheres, the more expensive it is in physics terms.

Objects in shades of grey and black are being completely ignored by the physics system. Red and yellow areas, meanwhile, are using an awful lot of spheres.

A group made of blue spheres, but with a yellow or red outline, means that while the individual objects are cheap, the group as whole is expensive.

When an object has come to rest, the physics system doesn’t have to think about it anymore at that point, so the object will be shown green.

Reduce the number of spheres - and therefore the physics cost - of sculptures by using physics cost on its tweak menu. You can set that to high, medium or low.

Finally, if you have any very thin sculptures, consider fattening them up! Very thin objects take up a lot of physics spheres, so be sure you need them to be skinny.
