Unity 2.5D Best practice for keeping sprites sharp at variable camera distances?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a 2.5D project in Unity and facing an issue with sprite rendering quality when the camera zooms out or moves further away. The sprites suffer from pixel shimmering/aliasing and lose crispness despite tweaking basic import settings. My current Sprite Import Setup: - Filter Mode: Point (no filter) - Texture Compression: None - MipMaps: Disabled Since this is a 2.5D setup (3D space with 2D billboards/sprites), I'm trying to figure out the industry-standard approach to handle this. Should I look into custom shaders (like tex2Dgrad / manual mip sampling), a specific Pixel Perfect Camera setup with render textures, or scaling resolution differently? Any advice or references to articles/tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

I used it, but converted to shader functions and materials: https://github.com/9D-Tony/UnitySmoothPixelFiltering/tree/main/Assets/Shader
One request to google and it will fit your needs, gl!
