Meshes Optimization Project

This project focuses on optimizing meshes to reduce draw calls. In other words, improve performance with minimal loss to visual quality. Some meshes are best utilized in ENB or CS, so please ensure you have the correct file, and all meshes should be compatible with vanilla.

Why does this mod exist?

Each shape (or “object”) in a mesh is a separate sub-mesh. Even if all shapes share the same material, the game engine must issue a separate draw call for each one.

More shapes → more draw calls → more CPU overhead.

Fewer shapes → fewer draw calls → better performance.

Legend:

Red - Not Gonna work

Orange - Can work but needs testing

Green - Will Work Fine

Bards College Rework (CS - ENB - Lux Orbis(Without CS) - Vanilla)

Optimized and flattened the blocks so the game does not spend time rendering NiNode Block for no reason.

Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace (CS - ENB - Lux Orbis(Without CS) - Vanilla)

Optimized and flattened the blocks so the game does not spend time rendering NiNode Block for no reason.

Cities of the North - Falkreath - (CS - ENB - Lux(Without CS) - Vanilla)

Optimized and fixed multiple errors that were present in the base meshes too

Let Lux Interior Meshes win over these

Cities of North - Falkreath Retexture and Consistency (CS - LUX - ENB - Vanilla)

Optimized and fixed multiple errors that were present in base meshes and that got carried over to these meshes.

Cities of the North - Dawnstar (CS - ENB - LUX(Without CS) - Vanilla)

Optimized and fixed multiple errors that were present in base meshes and redid the collision in all interior cells with proper footstep flags. Fixed interior mesh faces and UV.

Cities of the North - Morthal (CS - ENB - LUX(Without CS) - Vanilla)

Most of the meshes were already optimized, but I performed an optimization pass on large meshes and smaller meshes that are used repeatedly. Like before, I also merged meshes.

Capital Whiterun Expansion (CS - Lux Orbis - ENB - Vanilla)

Capital doesn’t include any interior meshes, so it’s fully compatible with
