Mesh Optimizer Champ (FREE Mesh Tool for Unreal Engine 5.5+)

Mesh Optimizer Champ is a completely FREE tool for UE5.5+, scattering, merging and optimizing your meshes with ease using Unreal's Scriptable Tool system. Easily place your meshes in your scene with a simple mouse click or drag, with or without the assistance of physics. Then merge your meshes into one to reduce draw calls and even optimize your mesh for high performance. You can also export your meshes as .fbx files to use in earlier versions of Unreal if required.

• Requires certain Unreal plugins to be enabled. Please see README file in the download folder for more details.
• Uses some experimental plugins which can cause occasional editor crashes (always save and backup your work!)
