New #gamedev tool is out - the Clustered meshlet optimizer.
Using clustered meshlets you can get good culling of your model and what is called "continuous LOD", different parts of your model can have different quality. Extremely useful if you have very dense models.

My optimization for mobile games guest article is up.
The main takeaway is that if your monetization comes from microtransactions or gacha mechanics, then asset creation cost correlates directly to profit.
Reducing the cost of optimization == 💰

Today I pushed out a blog on vegetation optimization. Here we look at how to combine billboards and triangle reduction to create a LOD chain in #Unity3d.

#Unity focused Simplygon blog post: This one addresses the quite common issues developers face when using assets from lots of different sources. It a common thing that the assets have a wide range of poly count, some over tessellated.

It is now time for a #Simplygon #gamedev blog, the first for 2025. In it we will have a look at how to use compute casting to cast textures in #Unity. This is useful if you have materials that does not use the standard shaders and want to create proxy models.

I just finished Dungeon IV: Not Another Multiverse DLC. Very fun with the new over world mechanic, hope it makes another appearance. Would be fun to combine demons with humans, or the orks...
A very fun DLC and looking forward to the next one!

In today's #Simplygon blog I'll cover a little known feature called Surface Mapper. With it you can create mapping images from different geometries. The use case I'll showcase is baking materials to an own supplied proxy model.

#gamedev tips:
⭐ For really distant LODs you can sometimes skip textures and just use vertex colors.
⭐ You can not just save color data in textures, but also other maps like metallic.
Let's create some LODs for that in #Blender with #Simplygon.

In this #gamedev blog I'll create a #Unity editor tool that enables replacing distant meshes with proxies. This is perfect when you want to reuse assets between levels, but don't require them to be viewed up close. Ideally you want all distant objects to be proxies.

Have you ever struggled with draw calls in #Unity?
Then have a look at the new #gamedev tutorial I released. It covers how to use material casting to merge materials together. This allows you to use only one draw call for more low end devices or distant LODs.
