Quick Description

Mesh optimization is the process of reducing the complexity of a 3D mesh to improve performance for real-time graphics.

How It Works

When we optimize the mesh, we remove unnecessary vertices and polygons while preserving the same general shape. This results in lighter models that load faster and render more smoothly.

Example

A professional artist can take a 50K-triangle model and simplify it for AR to be 5K-triangles with the same visual fidelity. By doing this, they can have many more objects in their scene and much richer experiences.

Why It Matters

Augmented reality is rendered on mobile devices and lightweight AR Headsets. Mesh optimization helps to improve frame rate, battery life, and stability of AR scenes, and allows for more content within your environment.
