BEST IN CLASS GEOMETRY REDUCTION
SolidMeta Forge introduces a groundbreaking polygon reduction decimation algorithm, excelling in preserving surface details and visual integrity during mesh simplification. Its advanced algorithms ensure enhanced normal and shading preservation, maintaining the natural appearance of models post-reduction.
The decimation dynamically adapts to the specific shape of the 3D model. Based on the structure and complexity of the input mesh and the settings of the Reduction Guides, it continuously refines its reduction strategies, optimizing results for both efficiency and aesthetic quality.
AI 3D Topology Training
Train 3D topology to automatic re-generate LOD’s for defined touchpoints. With a click AI re-generate thousends of contstruction parts for a digital twin or your computer game.
MODEL ATOMIZER
Efficiently manage monolythic models with the Atomizer feature. Split compound models into manageable parts, apply reductions, and recombine them automatically or keep them separate as needed. Utilize AI-driven technology to intelligently handle splitting and combining for optimized results and workflow efficiency.
Core Removal
Identifies and eliminates unnecessary internal geometry (the “core”) in real-time, preparing your 3D models for printing, simulation and WebGL.
Automatic Normal Correction
Automatically adjusts vertex and face normals to ensure accurate lighting and shading, swiftly resolving common visual inconsistencies seen with other market solutions. Achieve professional-grade models in no time.
Mesh Cleaning
From Vertex Fusion to Triangulation ensuring engine compatibility, and meticulous removal of Degenerate and Non-Manifold Topology for flawless renderings. Eliminate visual glitches with our unique Overlapping Faces fix. Identify, detect, and fix issues—fully automatically.
Reduction Guiding
Fine-tune the decimation process, balancing detail preservation with polygon reduction. It offers automatic controls like Border/Patch, Curvature, and Normal Deviation Based methods to maintain crucial model features. For customized precision, the Manual Paint Based option allows specific adjustments, ensuring vital details are retained while boosting model efficiency.
Automatic UV Mapping & UV Layout
Automatically unwrap complex 3D models to minimize distortions and simplify texturing, especially for high-volume asset productions.
Remeshing
Refines 3D model topology in quads or triangles, ensuring a uniform distribution of polygons without altering the overall shape.
Face Sets
Gain precise control over the mesh reduction process with Face Sets, which segment models based on material or object parts for targeted simplification. This feature ensures vital details are preserved while optimizing polygon counts, empowering users to achieve high-quality results with the flexibility to customize where and how models are simplified.

Frequently Asked Questions
More questions? Don’t hesitate to send us a message!
DO YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN AI IMAGE GENERATION TECHNOLOGY?
No, we do not develop our own AI image generation technology. Much like the early days of CGI and real-time technologies, companies today face a crossroads: develop their technology or utilize existing solutions. We choose the latter, opting to equip our clients with the tools necessary to effectively use any available ImageGen technology.
WHY DOES SOLIDMETA FORGE REQUIRE A HOUDINI CORE LICENSE?
Like we chose not to reinvent the wheel by developing our own AI image generation technology we also where not interested in reverse engineering decades of computer graphics programming. Instead, we utilize the state-of-the-art capabilities of SideFX Houdini, a leader in 3D software designed for automation and advanced 3D development. By integrating the Houdini Engine and Houdini Core, we enhance its capabilities with our innovative technology, providing a robust and efficient solution for our users.
I WORK WITH SENSITIVE DATA HOW CAN I USE SOLIDMETA’S TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT THE PLATFORM?
We deeply respect the confidentiality of our clients’ datasets and ensure that no data is accessible to other clients on our web platform. However, we understand that for some clients, high security isn’t high enough—some data simply cannot leave its original premises. To address this, we developed SolidMeta: Forge as a on premise solution. Forge is a Python frontend specifically designed to manage all 3D automation tasks. By using Forge, you can harness the power of AI automation while ensuring your datasets remain securely within your premises.
DO UNREAL 5 PROJECTS STILL NEED POLYGON REDUCTION OPTIMIZATION EVEN WITH NANITE TECHNOLOGY?
Yes! Although Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite technology impressively handles high polygon counts, it does increase infrastructure costs and can limit certain animation capabilities. SolidMeta Forge ensures an optimal balance between polygon count, performance and costs. By creating a base mesh that maintains visual quality while leveraging Nanite, we offer the best of both worlds—enhanced performance without compromising on details.
Data sharing adheres to the need-to-know principle, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific data. You have full control over who has access to your data. At any time, you can review and manage access permissions to see who has access to what data level.
If you have any concerns about data security or need assistance managing access controls, our support team is available to help.
CAN UNITY USERS BENEFIT FROM SOLIDMETA FORGE?
Absolutely. Forge is compatible with UNITY. While we currently offer a plugin for UNREAL, we’re actively considering the development of a SolidMeta: Forge UNITY plugin.
IS SOLID META ONLY FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY?
While Solid Meta’s origins lie in its development for the automotive industry—known for its stringent standards of visual quality and efficiency—its capabilities extend far beyond. Thanks to its AI-driven optimizations, Solid Meta can benefit a multitude of sectors, ranging from gaming and aviation to robotics, military, visual effects, and more. In essence, Solid Meta isn’t exclusive to the automotive realm; any industry aiming to amplify its workflow and efficiency with AI-backed solutions can harness its power.
