Whether you are developing for high-end PCs, consoles, or mobile devices, these methods are critical for delivering visually rich, smooth-running applications. These techniques reduce the memory footprint of static meshes and improve memory efficiency for dynamic scenes. For example, in tests with a large scene containing 6.7

In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. Like with 4.0
