Cutting edge solutions for 3D games content optimization
Build Vast, Immersive Worlds
Harness the power of Simplygon to craft expansive environments, intricate in detail, without compromising performance.
Imagine a world filled with rich 3D objects, offering unparalleled detail at high fidelity when observed up close. Using Simplygon, you can maintain this precision even at a distance, utilizing alternate object versions that appear detailed yet are optimized for efficient rendering.
With state-of-the-art techniques, you can easily simplify your 3D environment. Aggregate objects to reduce draw calls, use the remesher to replace entire sections with new textured objects suitable for HLOD systems, and replace costly shaders with simpler ones through material merging.
Craft Superior Character LODs
Automate your creation of high quality LODs with each step in the LOD-chain being optimized with the right tool for the job.
For close-up LODs, you can trust the quad reducer to retain a topology that mirrors the original, even to such a degree you can make it part of your LOD-0 workflow. For far-away LODs, you can use the triangle reducer that is designed to maintain detail even when characters span just a few pixels on screen. Both make sure to meticulously preserve skinning and blend shapes
To enable you to render many animated characters on screen in your game, you can apply Simplygon’s bone reducer to gain more performance by simplifying the rig to use fewer skinning influences for your LODs. For customizable characters, you can also leverage the modular seams feature alongside the triangle reducer, ensuring optimized pieces match seamlessly with perfect alignment.
Be at the Forefront of Innovation
Elevate your 3D game development with brand new features helping you push the boundaries of what’s possible.
The team at Simplygon is constantly researching new ways to help you to optimize your 3D content, ensuring you can set the pace for what’s next in 3D gaming, both effectively and efficiently.

With all features accessible through scripting, you can easily integrate it into your own asset pipelines, significantly reducing manual overhead of 3D content optimization.
Jumpstart your development with ready-to-use game engine and DCC plugins, or embrace the flexibility of our potent C++, C#, and Python APIs to craft a custom asset pipeline tailored precisely to your vision. And with Simplygon Grid, scaling and parallelizing your optimization becomes effortlessly achievable.
With Simplygon, not only do you streamline asset optimization, but you reclaim valuable time — enabling you to focus on what matters most: delivering an unparalleled gaming experience.
Expand your reach porting to Multiple Platforms
Grow your game’s audience, ensuring every player can enjoy it on their preferred device.
In game development, it's common practice to craft 3D assets catering to the most advanced hardware platform you plan to launch for. Yet, these detailed assets can become overly demanding when considered for platforms with lesser computational capacity.
Leverage Simplygon's optimization toolkit to effortlessly adjust your 3D assets, ensuring exceptional performance across a diverse range of devices – all while maintaining the art's original allure. By automating your 3D content optimization processes, you free your artists to focus on their true passion: crafting visually captivating content.
Boost your Favorite Tool
Seamlessly integrate Simplygon into your workflow, irrespective of your favored game engine or content creation software.
If you wish to incorporate Simplygon directly within your art pipeline, we offer plugins for tools such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, and Houdini. For those looking to automate, whether it's through automatic 3D content optimization during commits or within your game’s cooking pipeline, integration via the Python, C#, or C++ APIs is straightforward.
For game developers utilizing engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, ready-made integrations get you started quickly. And for those of you that have your own custom engine, rest assured - a deep integration is entirely within reach, should you desire it.

Discounted Games Title License
For independent game studios with annual revenues and operating expenses each under $5M, we offer a discount on the Title License. Eligibility requires disclosing your company’s annual operating expenses and revenue. The term is always yearly, but you can choose to pay yearly or divide the payment to quarterly payments. The discount is determined based on the following table.
| Annual OPEX and Revenue | Discounted License fees | Discount % |
|---|---|---|
| $100,000 and below | $ 5,250 (yearly) - $1,350 (quarterly) | 85% |
| $100,000 to $2,000,000 | $12,250 (yearly) - $3,100 (quarterly) | 65% |
| $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 | $19,250 (yearly) - $4,800 (quarterly) | 45% |
| $5,000,000 or greater | List price |
Please note that the discount is calculated based on the company’s total operating expenses and revenue, not on a per-project basis. The license term and discount are valid for one year. Subsequently, you must provide an annual update on your company's operating expenses and revenue upon license renewal. Additionally, eligibility for a Title License requires having a registered company entity. If your company is a subsidiary of a larger corporation, the financials of the parent entity will be taken into account in determining eligibility.
