Abstrakt: Reusing animation film assets for real-time rendering requires extreme simplification. As well-known simplification approaches do not suffice, studios are still forced to manually simplify their assets. To automate this, we employ a pipeline for efficient geometry-based simplification and make use of normal mapping to ensure visual similarity. Our obtained results are promising: geometric complexity is vastly reduced while maintaining a recognizable model, unlike results with classical simplification approaches as employed by commercial applications. We have compared the approaches in two settings, aiming at a similar number of triangles and aiming at a similar storage size, both of which prove that our extreme asset simplification is a valid alternative for classical topological simplification approaches.
