Low-poly character optimization
In this introduction blog we'll look at how to optimize a low poly skinned character with the Simplygon plugin for 3ds Max.
Aggregation with multiple output materials
In this blog we'll showcase how to use a mapping image with multiple output materials. This enables you to perform material merging on an asset with both opaque and transparent materials.
Introduction to terrain culling
In this blog we'll showcase how to cull away triangles that are below terrain. This is useful for aggregation and remeshing. We'll also showcase some common pitfalls.
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.
Tight fitting impostors with minimal overdraw
Generate tight fitting impostor geometries around the opaque areas based on the input opacity map.
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.
Customer Story: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
For this customer story we'll share the talk we did at GDC 2023 together with Fatshark. We'll cover the basics of 3d optimization and then how those concepts where applied in the making of Warhammer 40k: Darktide.
A look at impostor from single view in Unity HDRP
In this blog post we will take a look at how material casting for Unity HDRP render pipeline allows us to create extremely lightweight impostors. We are also going to cover how to hide LOD pops with cross fading.
Troubleshooting material baking in Unreal Engine
In this blog we'll look at different issues with material baking in Unreal Engine and their solutions. As example we will optimize draw calls by create a stand-in replacement of a group of objects. We are going to look at how to reuse UV-space, separate out troublesome material nodes and how to debug texture baking.
How to find correct settings for a scripted pipeline
In this post we'll cover how to find the correct settings for a scripted pipeline by exporting a pipeline created using the user interface.
A look at flipbook in Unreal Engine
In this blog we'll have a look at the flipbook impostor and how to use it in Unreal Engine. We are going to cover what the up and down sides of it are as well as some tips and tricks how to change parameters and materials on generated LODs in Unreal Engine.
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.
