GLTF Mesh Optimizer Tool

This tool allows for the easy creation of LODs from your GLTF models with only a few clicks.

The tool automatically exports each LOD as separate GLTF files.  Mesh optimization is  also done automatically on each LOD generated.

Quick Overview

• Models are automatically optimized and LODs are generated on import. The default configuration is good in most cases, so just click EXPORT and you are done.
• You need to click RE-GENERATE if you change any LOD  settings. 
• Exporting LODs as separate GLTF files allows for your own custom LOD solution on any game framework without a LOD solution (like libGDX).

Features

• auto mesh optimize on import.
• auto LOD generation on import.
• exports LODs as separate GLTF files with one click.
• fully customizable LOD configuration:
  • number of LODs can be 3 to 8 levels.
  • configurable simplification factor.
  • configurable target error.
• Support for encoding all textures with WebP images via an option, which enables further reduction in compressed asset sizes at some memory cost at runtime.
  
•  Permissive simplification support via an option, which can simplify meshes further while preserving appearance much better compared to aggressive simplification.   For more information see here.
• fully preview all LODs before exporting.
• wireframe view toggle.
• based on the industry standard meshoptimizer library (v0.25)
