Load additional texture channels into a Simplygon scene
In this blog post, we will showcase how to load textures into additional material channels in a file. This is useful if you are using material channels not defined in a standard file format (like FBX).
How to merge proxy texture into original texture map
In this post we'll showcase how to merge the texture of a remeshed proxy into the original texture. This allows you to use the remesher without requirement of introducing a new material and texture set.
Introduction to material merging in Maya
When working with 3D assets, optimizing materials can significantly improve performance, especially in game development and real-time rendering. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to merge materials in Maya using Simplygon. We’ll cover both the manual process through the UI and a more automated approach, helping you set up an efficient optimization pipeline. Whether you're looking to speed up your workflow or prepare assets for large-scale production, this guide will help you get started.
Custom texture casting in Unity
In this post we will look at how to cast textures for custom shaders in Unity using compute casters. This is very useful if you have non-standard shaders that use custom texture channels.
A tool for optimizing distant meshes in Unity
In this blog we'll create a Unity tool similar to our Unreal Engine plugin's Stand-In feature. It can be of great use to optimize objects in backgrounds of video games.
Optimize Unreal Engine levels with visibility culled Stand-Ins
This blog will cover how to use Stand-Ins in Unreal Engine to replace distant meshes with simple proxy meshes. We will use visibility culling to cull away any geometry not visible from the player's perspective.
How to build HLOD clusters for World Partition levels with Simplygon
In this post we'll showcase how to build HLODs for world partition levels in Unreal Engine 5 using Simplygon's new HLOD builder.
Optimizing Unity games with Simplygon 10.3
In this blog, we'll detail how our new Simplygon 10.3 release can be used to optimize Unity games. We'll showcase different examples on what kind of performance problems that can be solved with automated asset optimization.
What's new in Simplygon 10.3
In Simplygon 10.3 we have focused on improving our integrations. Simplygon's Unreal Engine 5 plugin now comes with major updates for World Partition HLODs. Our Unity plugin has been overhauled to improve support. It also adds support for 3ds Max 2024, Maya 2024 and Blender 4.0.
Introduction to micro-meshes for mesh compression
In this blog we will cover how to generate meshes using NVIDIAs new micro-mesh technology with Simplygon. We will create a batch processor for kit-bashed 3d scanned content indented to save disc space and optimize render performance.
Using your own shaders for material baking with Compute Casting
Today we will look at how to create proxies for object with custom shaders. We are going to use compute casters in combination with scene descriptions serialized to xml files to create a batch processor indented to process HLOD meshes. We'll also cover clipping planes.
What's new in Simplygon 10.2
As a Midsummer gift to all game developers we are proud to release Simplygon 10.2! In this release we have worked on core improvements to our remesher, support for Unity's Universal Render Pipeline and High Definition Render Pipeline and lastly support for Unreal Engine 5.2.
