Apr 2, 2026, 4:12 PMmeshoptimizer 1.1 is out!
Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements, it's a big release! Meshlet codec is heavily optimized for CPU decompression and output can be compressed further with Zstandard; opacity micromap rasterizer outputs hardware ready data representation and is fast and easy to integrate.
Boosts and repository stars are welcome! Like and subscribe!
Apr 2, 2026, 4:20 PMBecause of recent developments I also feel compelled to add: the features in the new release were written by my own damn hands (... and a keyboard). The infographic took me 3 hours in Canva yesterday. It's been a busy 4 months.

Apr 3, 2026, 9:50 PM@aras Thanks! I initially tried to cobble it together from stock images but ended up doing custom “real” content:
- The meshlets on the left are from my renderer with debug colors, barycentric based wireframe and hacked culling to just display a few of them
- The OMM on the right is using actual OMM code to build the data from the image and a hacky Python script to overlay the triangular grid on top
Took time but feels better to use my own data and not just existing diagrams from elsewhere.
@zeux Thanks for the hard work! The library is genuinely teaching me abt GPU & Mesh! 🙏
