The Standard in 3D games content optimization.

Tokyo skylines. Mountain roads. Dense forests. Massive vistas.

See how @WeArePlayground used Simplygon to help bring Horizon's vision of Japan to life in #ForzaHorizon 6.

In this blog we will share some tools and techniques that are especially useful for optimizing strategy games.

- Low poly triangle reduction
- Switch to remeshed proxy models for very low poly targets
- Billboards for vegetation and thin geometry

A heavily restricted camera gives you a powerful optimization constraint.

So why not build your geometry around it?

In this Simplygon example, we create a custom #UnrealEngine pipeline that generates optimized geometry for each view position.

Simplygon became an important enabling technology in achieving that goal, supporting Playground Gamesʼ technical art and content teams across three key areas: Hierarchical Level of Detail, Projection Level of Detail, and Impostor Baking.

#ForzaHorizon 6 welcomes players to Japan: a location of striking contrasts, where rural landscapes, mountain roads, wooded regions, industrial districts, and the iconic streets of Tokyo City come together in one spectacular driving experience.

Simplygon and Havok will be sharing a booth, so make sure to stop by and meet both teams. Whether you want to talk about 3D model optimisation, Havok's Physics, Navigation, and Cloth solutions in Unreal, or the challenges you are facing in your current project.

This autumn, Simplygon is heading around the world to meet game developers and help even more studios optimise their games.

Our first stop is Shanghai, where we will be attending Unreal Fest Shanghai 22–23 October together with our our colleagues at @HavokBuzz .

[Simplygon Studios @simplygon]

We’ve put together a look back at where Simplygon started, some of the games and technologies that shaped us, and where we believe optimization is heading next.

Simplygon is celebrating 20 years!

Twenty years ago, we started Simplygon around the idea that game developers should be able to build bigger and more complex worlds without spending an ever-growing amount of time manually optimizing them.

[Simplygon Studios @simplygon]

A lot has changed since then. Game worlds have become larger, asset libraries have grown enormously, and the ways in which games are built and shipped have continued to evolve. Along the way, Simplygon has grown too, from our early remeshing technology to automated LOD generation, HLOD and increasingly integrated optimization pipelines.

Today, Simplygon has been used during the development of more than 1,000 titles, something we’re incredibly proud of.

But 20 years of Simplygon is really a story about the developers, studios and partners who have trusted our technology and challenged us with increasingly ambitious games. Thank you to everyone who has been part of that journey.

[Simplygon Studios @simplygon]

Congratulations to the entire Remedy team on bringing another ambitious, beautiful and thoroughly paranatural experience to life.

Now please excuse us. We have an Altered World Event in Manhattan to investigate.

Some things were never meant to stay contained.

Huge congratulations to our friends at Remedy Entertainment on the release of CONTROL Resonant!

[Simplygon Studios @simplygon]

As reality bends and the strange escapes beyond the Oldest House, we’re incredibly proud to see Simplygon tools helping optimise the world Remedy has created.

Automation doesn’t have to be hard. Today’s blog is about just a few lines of #Python code.

A few lines that can optimize an entire folder of 3D assets using the Simplygon Python API.

Less manual #gamedev work. More automation.

Hundreds of units. Huge maps. Zoomable cameras.

And, inevitably, someone spends their entire population cap on workers.

Our latest #gamedev blog covers Simplygon techniques for optimizing 3D assets in strategy games.

Congratulations as well to the team on their recent major content update for Cozy Caravan!

[Simplygon Studios @simplygon]

How do you preserve a cozy art style while cutting memory usage for Switch and mobile?

5 Lives Studios used Simplygon to reduce mesh costs, remove hidden geometry, and scale optimization across a huge library of customizable assets in #cozycaravan.
