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.

Mobile games have come a long way since simple 2D games. Today’s games are fully 3D and contain thousands of unique assets.
An important tool to get the game to run well on all devices is automated 3D optimization. Read our thoughts on it here:

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.

Simplygon can use #UnrealEngine 's Nav Mesh for visibility culling. This is an useful way to remove triangles never visible from the player's point of view.

A clever #gamedev optimization for symmetrical assets is to create a impostor from single view, clone it and rotate 90 degrees. This gives you a cross billboard with efficient texture usage.
Let us look at how to do it in #blender3d with Simplygon.

With material merging you can reduce draw calls in #unity by merging multiple materials into one. It is a perfect way to optimize assets for low end platforms or virtual reality.

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

For this you can skip texture sampling and just use vertex colors. Here is how to do it in #blender3d.
