RapidPipeline has released a plugin for Unreal Engine that enables local 3D model and CAD data optimization directly within the editor. The plugin offers one-click actions for tasks like removing invisible geometry, decimation, remeshing, texture baking, and importing various CAD formats (CATIA, Solidworks, Rhino, PTC Creo). Unlike Datasmith which focuses on import, RapidPipeline emphasizes data preparation and optimization for real-time rendering and VR applications. A 14-day free trial is available.
