## What it is
A C# mesh simplification (decimation) library for Unity, based on the Fast Quadric Mesh Simplification algorithm. It works in the Unity editor and at runtime on all officially supported Unity platforms, and includes LOD generation helpers.

## Use cases
- reduce polygon count of 3d meshes in unity
- generate LOD levels for game assets
- optimize heavy models for mobile performance
- simplify meshes at runtime in a unity build
- decimate high-poly scans for real-time rendering

## When to choose
- you need mesh decimation inside Unity with a permissive MIT license
- you want pure C# code that runs in editor and builds on any Unity-supported platform
- you need automatic LOD generation for your assets

## When to avoid
- you need mesh simplification outside of Unity
- you need actively developed features - the maintainer is seeking someone to adopt the project
- you use the legacy .NET scripting runtime or Unity older than 2018.1
