I've found it's actually best to do maximal quality generation and decimate/meshopt to desired budget.
If you're raycasting against your raw art you're doing it wrong anyway, none of the big players do this precisely for the reason you mentioned. And beyond physics meshes, if you're doing anything where performance is a problem you probably want multiple LODs so you have to do this work anyway.
These days you can just ask your agent to build you a LOD pipeline and forget about it rather than sacrificing the art; Claude knows Blender.

- avaer 2mo agoHave you tried meshopt? It depends a lot on the art, view distance, and tuning, but it works well for my use cases. (I agree with you about Blender though, I always hated Blender's simplify)
- nomel 2mo agoHave you tried meshlab [1]? I've had pretty fantastic results reducing meshes from millions to some thousands. [1] https://www.meshlab.net https://www.meshlab.net
