February 10, 2010 / (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- Donya Labs(R), providers of cutting-edge 3D solutions for the games and serious games industry, has announced an update to its optimization middleware Simplygon.

Donya states that its all-in-one Simplygon optimization software, which is used to streamline the production pipeline in companies such as BioWare(TM), Criterion Games and CCP Games, has received add-ons designed to "further enhance workflow, increase overall art-pipeline efficiency and generally extend the software’s unique and powerful optimization capabilities."

Simplygon's ability to automatically reduce polygon count or create a low-vertex density stand-in mesh, without losing visual quality, is now extended with full support for remapping normal; ambient color; diffuse and specular maps onto a new mesh.

"Combined, these features provide the only automatic complete optimization pipeline for 3D assets, allowing studios' teams to focus on creating appealing game play instead of wasting time on tedious re-creation of game assets, thereby reducing production cost and time-to-market", a company representative stated.

The Simplygon SDK also offers full support for integration in Autodesk(R) 3ds Max(R) and Emergent(TM) Gamebryo(R) LightSpeed(TM), further reducing the need for lengthy integration processes.
