Optimization of 3D Models for Mobile Games: Balancing Quality and Performance

Abstract

Mobile gaming has reached a new level of popularity in recent years with an increasing number of people playing games on their smartphones daily. While smartphones have advanced significantly in terms of technology with high-end devices being able to handle visually stunning games, the majority of users still own mid-range smartphones. Hence, the need for optimization is still relevant to game developers to ensure performance on older devices and help their games reach a wider audience.

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on researching and discussing the optimization of 3D assets for mobile platforms, striking a delicate balance between visual quality and performance.
