Updated my Free Unreal Engine Tool: Project Optimise

I’ve been pretty busy the last few months with Marauders (check out our latest update). I only just got a chance to revisit and update the Unreal Engine Tool I made to help people optimise their projects.

Based on people’s suggestions, I added some new functionality, you can now:

  • Search for assets missing materials

  • Search for assets with X or more verts

It’s still 100% FREE and you can watch THIS VIDEO HERE to see how it works and how to install it.


Here is a propper breakdown:

Static meshes

Missing Materials - You can use this button to search your entire project for any static meshes that have missing materials. This is a good one for helping find problems in your project

X Or More Verts - You can use this button to search your entire project for any static meshes that have above a certain number of vertex. You can dynamically change the number on the button to search for what you want e.g. 100, 1,000, 10,000. This is a useful one for helping find optimisation opportunities in your project.

SKELETAL MESHES

Missing Materials - You can use this to help find problems where your skeletal meshes are missing materials

X Or More Verts - You can use this to search your entire project for any skeletal meshes that have above a certain number of vertex. You can dynamically change the number on the button to search for what you want e.g. 100, 1,000, 10,000. This is a useful one for helping find optimisation opportunities in your project.

OUTRO

I made these scripts for my own projects to help find problems I didn't know existed as well as potential opportunities for optimisations. The idea is that we can catch smaller issues that aren't obvious and bring up the overall sturdy-ness and quality of our games to stop that death by 1000 bugs concept. If you want to see when I release updates or new tools give me a follow on Twitter.

Remember these scripts are free so give them a go and I hope you find them useful. If you have any ideas for extra functionality which might be useful, give me a shout, and maybe I can add it to the tool!
