Description

The Smart Assistant analyzes your entire scene to detect performance issues and provides actionable recommendations with one-click fixes. It generates a Health Score (0-100) based on mesh complexity, draw calls, and optimization opportunities.

Scene Metrics

Metric	What It Measures
Health Score	Overall scene optimization rating from 0 (poor) to 100 (excellent)
Objects	Total static and dynamic mesh objects in scene
Materials	Number of unique materials (affects draw calls)
Triangles	Total triangle count across all scene meshes

Platform Compatibility

The Assistant evaluates your scene against platform-specific thresholds:

• Mobile: Strict limits for mobile GPU performance
• Console: Balanced limits for console hardware
• PC: Standard desktop performance targets
• VR: Strict limits for maintaining 90fps in VR

Auto-Fix

Detected issues include a "Fix" or "Fix All" button that automatically applies the appropriate tool to resolve the issue. For example, high-poly objects can be auto-simplified, and missing LODs can be auto-generated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and answers

Q: Does this work with HDRP/URP?

Yes, Mesh Dominus Pro works with Standard, URP, and HDRP render pipelines.

Q: Are original meshes modified?

No. All operations create new mesh assets. Original meshes are preserved in your project.

Q: Where are output files saved?

All generated meshes are saved to Assets/Mesh Dominus Pro Output/[ToolName]/

Q: Can I undo operations?

Yes, most operations support Unity's Undo system (Ctrl+Z).

Q: Does it work with prefabs?

Yes, but you may need to unpack prefabs for some operations. The tool will prompt you when needed.

Q: Maximum mesh size supported?

Meshes with up to 65,000 vertices use 16-bit indices. Larger meshes automatically use 32-bit indices.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions

Selection not visible in Scene view

Ensure you're in Edit Mode for the tool. Check that the object has a valid MeshFilter or SkinnedMeshRenderer component.

Tool window is blank

Try closing and reopening the window via Window → Mesh Dominus Pro. If the issue persists, reimport the package.

Mesh disappears after operation

Check the Console for errors. The mesh may have been saved but not assigned. Look in the output folder for the generated asset.

Materials lost after combining

Ensure source materials are included in the build. Procedural or runtime-generated materials may not transfer.

LOD distances seem wrong

LOD distances are calculated based on object bounds. Very small or very large objects may need manual adjustment of LODGroup settings.
