Earlier this year, Microsoft announced the acquisition of Simplygon, a leader in 3D model optimization based in southern Sweden. As the company continues its journey to bring the benefits of mixed reality to everyone, Simplygon is an important accelerant that makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to develop in 3D.
Introducing Simplygon Cloud
Microsoft has launched Simplygon Cloud on Azure Marketplace. Simplygon reduces complexity in the creation and extensibility of 3D models through optimization. Simplygon supports GLTF, FBX and OBJ file types for ingestion; rendering engines including Unity 3D and Unreal Engine; and all major mixed reality platforms, including Windows Mixed Reality, iOS and Android.
How it works
Historically, 3D asset optimization has taken days or weeks of manual effort and is one of the tasks that artists and developers dislike the most. With Simplygon, you can create 3D assets once – at full visual fidelity – and automatically optimize them to render smoothly on any platform – within minutes, saving valuable time and money.
How To Get Started
Simplygon Cloud is now available in the Azure Marketplace. To get started, visit Azure Marketplace home to learn how to deploy the Simplygon Cloud virtual machine and start optimizing your 3D assets.
