nstaLOD transforms the cumbersome

and complex task of 3D asset creation

and optimisation into a process that

can be achieved on the go or even fully

automated. Its multi-faceted feature

set can be implemented in virtually

every case of 3D asset creation. These

functions include award-winning polygon

optimisation technology, skeletal mesh

optimisation, remeshing technology and

much more besides.

The technology casts a wide net in

the growing shift towards 3D production.

Users cover a broad spectrum from

gaming, VFX, aerospace, architecture,

consumer goods and more. These unique

features have also made InstaLOD the

go-to solution for all major branches of

the 3D industry. Much-needed relief is

For the entertainment industry

InstaLOD enables the transformation of

raw kit-bashed items, as well as available

data from previous projects, into realtime-

ready assets in mere minutes. Features

such as polygon optimisation, remeshing,

draw-call reduction, automatic UV

unwrapping and texture baking helps

to ensure the most cost-efficient

retopology possible.

MASTERS OF THE REMASTER

Bluepoint Games has built a reputation

for creating some of the best remastered

games in recent years. With critically

acclaimed titles like Shadow of the

Colossus, the studio has become

a household name in the industry.

Remastered games demand a larger

number of assets to help with the

increased level of detail. With the

help of InstaLOD, Bluepoint is able to

create a large number of assets much

more efficiently.

Shortly after integrating InstaLOD

into their production process, the

studio started to rely on the technology

for many parts of their asset creation

process. InstaLOD’s remeshing and

occlusion culling features are now used to

automatically convert kit-bashed assets

into realtime-ready assets, saving hours of

manual labour. This workflow enables the

developer to produce more assets
