# Model automatic optimization tool- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Import Tool

## 1. What exactly needs to be optimized for the model?

• Model faces \
• The number of materials and textures of the model \
• The number of grids in the model \
• Model hierarchy and number of nodes \
• The size of the model texture \
Reduce the value as much as possible while ensuring the quality of the model

## 2. What is the current workflow for manually optimizing the model?

1. Create a high model with a lot of faces first, for example, the model made by carving software has a lot of faces; 
2. Create model stickers, by hand-painting, baking, etc.; 
3. Topology the high model into a low model in the modeling software. In some cases, some invisible faces need to be deleted.

## 3. What is the automatic model optimization tool?

As the name suggests, it can automatically reduce the number of model faces (topology into low poly), the number of materials and textures (combined materials and textures), the number of meshes (combined meshes), the number of nodes (optimize the hierarchy and the number of nodes) and optimize the texture size.

## 4. The origin of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Import Tool

An important component of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Import Tool is the automatic model optimization. The technology comes from Simplygon, which was acquired by Microsoft. When it was first acquired, Microsoft opened the free cloud model automatic optimization API, but it was closed later, mainly for Dynamics 365 Import Tool tool to prepare.

So if you are a professional, you can try to download the free or paid version of Simplygon for automatic model optimization.
