# SIMPLYGON Reviews **Vendor:** Microsoft **Category:** [Gaming Tools ](https://www.g2.com/categories/gaming-tools) **Average Rating:** 4.8/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 3 ## About SIMPLYGON Simplygon is 3D computer graphics software for automatic 3D optimization, based on proprietary methods for creating levels of detail (LODs) through Polygon mesh reduction and other optimization techniques. Since the launch of Simplygon, the product has been licensed by a number of AAA game studios,[1][2][3][4] for multi-platform games,[5][6] and used in areas such as architecture, 3D CAD, 3D scan, 3D web and 3D printing. The algorithms in Simplygon are designed to also optimize different type of input forms, and a number of visualization projects outside gaming are currently deploying this technology in areas such as architecture, 3D CAD, 3D scan, 3D web and 3D printing. ## SIMPLYGON Reviews ### 1. Unmatched Optimization Quality **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2022 **What do you like best about SIMPLYGON?** A great tool to create low polygon count & high material quality 3D assets. Provides an API, making it easy to create automated workflows. I have never seen a tool that can produce high-quality assets with a polygon count this low. It can bring down 3M polygons to 1.5k without a visible quality loss. Furthermore, the staff is very helpful, gets back to you on issues and guides you through workflow creation processes. **What do you dislike about SIMPLYGON?** On some occasions, SIMPLYGON causes defects in optimized materials. The problem generally occurs in textures with extreme specular or translucent properties. However, we have reached out to the SIMPLYGON team, and they are working on a solution for this issue. **What problems is SIMPLYGON solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3D assets with high polygon count and texture quality have a very large file size. This makes it hard to download and render 3D assets on devices that do not have a good internet connection. Furthermore, a high poly count asset causes a large number of render calls on the processing unit. SIMPLYGON solves this issue by creating high-quality assets with a low level-of-detail. ### 2. Simplygon review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cem O. | Creative Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2022 **What do you like best about SIMPLYGON?** I like simplygon's ability to convert texture mapping spaces to reduced polygon topologies very successfully. The reduction algorithm also works very optimized. **What do you dislike about SIMPLYGON?** Tweaking the parameters are not displayed with a preview. This could help improve our workflow much more. **What problems is SIMPLYGON solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides us with strong algorithms that are ready to automate 3D model polygon count reduction, texture size reduction and re mapping on the reduced 3D model. ### 3. This software is gold standard for optimizing 3D assets. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mahdi K. | Cofounder and Chief Research and Development Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2022 **What do you like best about SIMPLYGON?** It provides a vast range of functions and it has a great sdk. **What do you dislike about SIMPLYGON?** It only works on windows and the documentation is weak. **What problems is SIMPLYGON solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use the software to reduce the size of assets and reduce triangle counts. - [View SIMPLYGON pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/simplygon/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+22%3A22%3A55+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=1818ab3b-c829-46dc-9b34-ea87329807ef&secure%5Btoken%5D=3b8532264c27ea2f001a00ae6980c3ea410360dc8983453acfbc60e95e0f72f5&format=llm_user) ## Top SIMPLYGON Alternatives - [GitHub](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (2,279 reviews) - [Bitbucket](https://www.g2.com/products/bitbucket/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (979 reviews) - [Sentry](https://www.g2.com/products/sentry/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (196 reviews)
