Render Texture Size

The render texture size defines the size of your HTML browser item.

By default this size is set to 1920x1080 pixel. You can change the size in the inspector.

If using responsive web content that is optimized for tablets or mobile phones, the view mode of the HTML content is adapted responsive for small render texture sizes.

 

 
FPS

Frames per Second (FPS) defines how often the browser engine renders and refreshes your HTML content.
Please keep in mind, that this number is related to the number of frames the browser engine renders the HTML content and not on URL reloading.

warningTo save your system's resources, dial down the FPS on static HTML pages without CSS Animations to 1.
Each HTML content in VERTEX opens its own browser engine. When woking with different HTML content elements or big render texture sizes, a lower FPS number for HTML rendering can save processing power of your render editor or the fullscreen renderer.
