asset-optimization

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Validates and optimizes Blender assets for polycount, topology, UV efficiency, material count, naming, collections, and game-ready performance. Use before export on all production assets via MCP.

Asset Optimization

Enforce budgets. Clean geometry. Game-ready validation gate before export.

When to Use

Before every export
After modeling complete
LOD generation
Scene-wide performance audit
Pre-delivery validation

Workflow

Audit → Identify Issues → Fix → Re-Audit → LOD Generation → Validation Report

Audit Checklist

Run via MCP scene queries where possible:

Geometry

Triangle count vs budget (
```
../references/polycount-budgets.md
```
)
Duplicate vertices merged
Loose geometry removed
Non-manifold fixed
Interior faces deleted
Applied transforms (scale 1,1,1)

UVs

Pack efficiency > 75%
Texel density consistent
No unintended overlaps

Materials

Count within budget
No unused slots
Names follow
```
MAT_
```
convention

Organization

All objects named
```
SM_
```
prefix
Collections organized per convention
Collision meshes in
```
COL_Collision
```

Optimization Techniques

Issue	Fix
Over budget	Remove unseen geo, decimate, bake detail
High triangle count on flat surfaces	Reduce subdiv/bevel segments
Many draw calls	Merge materials; atlas textures
Repeated geometry	Convert to instances
Heavy modifiers	Apply and merge strategically

LOD Generation

LOD0: Full detail (hero)
LOD1: 50% tris — remove micro-bevels, small greebles
LOD2: 25% tris — decimate modifier; preserve silhouette
LOD3: 10% tris — impostor/card or simple proxy

Naming:

SM_Asset_LOD0

SM_Asset_LOD1

, etc.

Use Decimate modifier:

Planar mode for hard surface
Collapse mode for organic
Always verify silhouette after decimate

Modifier Cleanup

Before export:

Apply stack OR export with modifiers per engine support
Remove unused modifiers
Collapse mirror/array if instances not needed
Document which modifiers remain live

Scene Audit Report Template

markdown

## Optimization Report: [Asset/Scene]

**Total Triangles:** [count] (budget: [target])
**Draw Calls (materials):** [count]
**Objects:** [count]
**Issues Fixed:** [list]

### Per-Object Breakdown
| Object | Tris | Materials | Status |
|--------|------|-----------|--------|
| SM_... | ... | ... | PASS/FAIL |

MCP Integration

Query polycount per object via MCP
Query material count via MCP
Run cleanup operations via MCP
Generate LOD duplicates via MCP
Validate naming conventions via MCP scene tree

Constraints

MUST DO

Run full validation before export
Document polycount in production brief
Create LODs for hero assets in games
Fix all non-manifold before export
Output validation report

MUST NOT DO

Export without budget check
Decimate deforming meshes without testing
Remove collision proxies
Skip naming convention validation
Optimize hero face/hands below animation needs
