Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description
Automatic LOD generation.
With NanoLOD, you can automatically create LODs to make your game run faster!
But what are LODs?
LODs is the abbreviation for Levels of Details. It is an optimization technique that consists of switching models with lower resolution versions (fewer triangles) the farther they are from the screen.
Unity supports LODs with the LODGroup component but does not generate the lower resolution version of your meshes. Nanolod does that for you!
Why Nanolod?
- It's free 😎
- It's fast 🚀
- It works seamlessly with Unity LODs. No additional components or custom scripts to add to your game. It just works.
- It supports all mesh attributes. Animations, normals, UV (channels 0 and 1 for lightmaps), vertex colors, ...
- It is based on an innovative decimation algorithm. Based on an exclusive lightweight mesh data structure, the algorithm uses a more advanced approach than the standard quadric decimation and metaheuristics for best-in-class optimization.
- It's also portable! Since this is all C#, it is compatible with all Unity-supported platforms if you need its feature at runtime.
