Protecting selected materials
In this blog post, we will guide you through the art of safeguarding specific materials during mesh reduction. Imagine scenarios where preserving intricate details, such as character faces or dynamic materials like cloth, is crucial to maintaining the overall visual appeal of your 3D models.
Simple Maya script
In this post, we'll guide you through using Simplygon's scripting support in Maya to transfer data from Maya to Simplygon, run a process, and bring the results back into Maya. This tutorial will provide a solid foundation for applying tips and tricks from other blogs directly within Maya.
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.
Scripting with Simplygon: Introduction
This is the first of a series of posts where we dig deeper into how to script with Simplygon. In this post we will explore four levels of scripting depth, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
Vertex locks in Unity
In this blog we'll showcase how to use vertex locks in Unity to protect areas during optimization. We do this by editing the Simplygon scene after export from Unity.
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.
Optimizing a modular character asset
Characters constructed of modular pieces can suffer from a problem after they are optimized. If the seams connecting the different parts are not matching each other, you can end up with visual artefacts. This blog post will show how you can use the modular seams feature of Simplygon to prevent these issues.
Keep original materials during aggregation
In this blog we'll showcase how to keep original materials during material merging. This enables you to keep materials that require special shaders separated during optimization.
Character optimization with quad reduction
In this introduction blog we'll look at how to optimize a skinned character with the quad reducer.
