Greetings from Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik! We are there visiting and getting inspired by the amazing video game industry. If you see a yellow robot, or product expert, walking around say hi!

Kit bashed assets can require lots of draw calls to render, costing performance. A solution is to merge all materials into one. Let us show you how to do it in Maya with the Simplygon plugin. https://lnkd.in/di5sGHje

In todays Simplygon blog we will cover how to automate optimization of character prefabs. We will create a system that: - Creates level of detail models using cascaded reduction pipelines. - Rebinds result to original Unity skeleton hierarchy. - Reduces draw calls via material merging. - Assigns to LODGroup at correct distance. - Allows batch processing of all characters in the game using shared settings. https://lnkd.in/dGDTM3fD

We are now on our way home after a wonderful GDC. It is always amazing to see the creativity of all game developers globally and feel the energy. A huge thanks to all who we met and talked to, you are all amazing and we see you at the next GDC!

In todays blog we will look at how to automate optimization of Unity prefabs. We store optimization settings as ScriptedObjects and share them between different prefabs. This allows us to easily fine tune performance and quality and rebuild all LODs. https://lnkd.in/dxNq4Hfy

Next week we will be #GDC2025, hoping to meet old friends, new faces and share our passion for video game optimization. Arrange a meeting by email us at sales@simplygon.com.
