OK That thumbnail is priceless!

Hey, I'm currently working on a html5 template for UE4 and doing that package size reduction pass xD Apparently removing some plugins like Android add more momory to the packaged project, probably because of the recompilation (I was around 70 to 75Mb during this test), I'm not done with it yet but it's interesting that removing plugins depending the proejct (or the version of the engine) will not have the same impact in your final package size š PS: That OpenImageDenoiser omg didn't knew about it! Sometime I use path tracer for rendering but that's a good way to reduce some of the memory, that's a cool tip!

REALLY helpful for things like game jams that have a file size cap.

Great content! We recently participated in a game jam and the finished game was 600mb which kinda stood out among games made with Unity and Godot. But with these tips the size could've been reduced significantly

Thanks

Heh, yea, I definitely already knew about the share material shader code option. Who doesn't know that old chestnut hahah certainly not me!
