Description

The "Combine Meshes" function generates a single mesh with a single material (and textures), out of multiple meshes with their own materials and textures.

The result is a similar looking model, with a reduction of the amount of draw calls:

  • Geometries are not modified, only merged together
  • All UVs are combined and repacked together into a single Atlas
  • Possibility to regenerate UVs
  • All material information is transferred into a single set of textures (diffuse, normal map, opacity...), used by a single material applied to the combined mesh


How To

Select your model and from the Optimize Mesh menu, choose "Combine Meshes", and the textures to bake, among:

  • Albedo
  • Normal (texture is automatically baked in "Tangent space")
  • Opacity
  • Roughness
  • Metallic
  • Ambient Occlusion
