# Optimization Workflow

Follow these steps to optimize your project assets.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Analyze**

Open the plugin via a folder or asset selection.
\
The tool automatically calculates the current Texel Density for all items.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Set Targets**

Input your desired **Target Texel Density**.

* First Person: \~10.24 px/cm
* Third Person: \~5.12 px/cm
* Background: \~2.56 px/cm
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Review**

Sort the table by "Texel Density" (Descending) to identify the worst offenders.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Select**

Check the boxes next to the assets you wish to process, or use the "Select All" button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Process**

Click **Optimize Selected** in the bottom right corner. \
The plugin will adjust Maximum Textures Size settings automatically.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Verify**

The list will refresh. Ensure the "Optimized" status count has increased.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
I recommend using the Refresh List button because the automatic update doesn’t always work.
{% endhint %}

### Practical Examples

* **Mobile Optimization**: Set Target Density to 2.56 px/cm. Sort by "Total Size". \
  This quickly identifies massive 4K textures on small props that crash mobile GPU memory.
* **Hero Assets**: For a main character's weapon, use Select Asset context menu. \
  Set density to 20.48 px/cm to ensure maximum crispness close to the camera.
* **Quality Assurance**: It’s recommended to use the tool for analysis. \
  Sort by Texel Density to quickly spot assets with inconsistent quality for example, when a small cup has a higher density than a large wall.
