Characters can be tricky to optimize and require different tools for different situations:
🔨 Triangle reduction
🪛 Vertex weights
⛏️ Bone reduction
🖌️ Material merging

In this #gamedev blog, we give an overview of when to apply them:

When deciding on LOD transitions, it's crucial to view the asset in context, especially animation.

Does animation make LOD transitions easier or harder to spot?

The reviews are in, and Outer Worlds 2 looks fabulous! Amazing work @obsidian.net !

Before launch, our developer team took a trip to Arcadia and helped optimize the new frontier with Simplygon technology.

The universe needs a hero, but you’ll have to do.

Here's a visualization of clustered meshlet rendering. We can see that as the camera moves around in the scene, we get different quality level on the individual clusters.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at Simplygon’s newest #gamedev feature.

Discover how the clustered meshlet optimizer enables continuous LOD for modern mesh shader pipelines.

We will be at #MIGS25 in Montréal, Québec to help even more game studios optimize their games.

If you want to know more about how an automated 3D asset content optimization pipeline can benefit you, let’s meet for a chat!

Billboard clouds can be a lifesaver for #gamedev assets where neither reduction nor remeshing works. In this blog we will have a look at how to fine tune the optimization settings for them.

We had a fantastic time at #Gamescom this year!

One of the highlights was our CTO luncheon, co-hosted with our friends at @havokbuzz.bsky.social , Makers Fund, Hathora, and Pragma.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the conversation. Exciting times ahead for games!

#gamedev optimization tip:
By reserving a small part in the original texture our remeshed proxy model can reuse the same texture.

Let us show you how!

Left or right - which is the billboard impostor?

In this blog post we will look at two shading tricks that will increase visual quality of vegetation impostors;

✨Fading of orthogonal planes
✨Noising of normals

With Simplygon's surface mapper you can bake any geometry to any other geometry.

Here we use it to reuse the same proxy mesh for different assets that does not share topology.
