Apparently there is a limit on how many vertices can be influenced on skeletal meshes on Android and that limit is 4 (or even 3). If more vertices are influences per bone, performance with skeletal meshes suffers a lot.

So far no one can tell me if such functionality already exists in Blender.

If it does, could you please explain how to do it, so whether I auto-weight vertices when parenting mesh to Armature or manually paint weights, the number of vertices influenced per bone stays at the limit or below ?

If such functionality doesn't exist, could you please consider adding it for 2.79 (I am guessing it's too late for 2.78) ?

Thanks

Weight painting mode already has a Limit Total tool that does this though.
