A new video tutorial unveils InstaLOD’s Remesher, a groundbreaking tool transforming the remeshing process for 3D artists. Remeshing reconstructs input geometry to meet specific topological needs, like targeted polygon counts, while preserving surface details through texture data like normal maps. Historically, its adoption was limited by lengthy processing times, high memory demands, and strict requirements for clean, watertight geometry—challenges InstaLOD overcomes with ease.

The video demonstrates optimizing a 127,000-polygon troll model in InstaLOD Studio, reducing it to 5,000 polygons with one material and draw call in seconds. The Remesher merges sub-meshes, generates efficient UVs, and bakes high-poly details into normal maps, ensuring visual fidelity. It even repairs broken geometry, showcasing robustness with imperfect production assets.

Scalability shines with the “fuzzy face count target,” automatically adjusting polygon counts based on quality settings (low to highest). The video processes a 156,000-polygon communicator model using the same profile, creating a unified, optimized asset. It also crafts a chain of LODs (levels of detail) for both models, from high-detail to under 3,000 polygons, proving versatility across asset types.

InstaLOD’s Remesher eliminates remeshing’s barriers, enabling scalable workflows for studios handling thousands of assets. The video, accessible to beginners and experts, teases future tutorials on scan processing and kitbashing.
