Hello,

making a LOD (Level of Detail) System avilable, would be great.
Having different LOD Stages for each model. If You look from far away to a model, it is diplayed, using a LOD with a lower resolution. Comming closer, a LOD with a higher resolution is used.
F.e. LOD 0 = very high details, LOD 1= medium details and LOD 2 = low details.

There is already a lod system in GG, it just requires the model to support it.

As smallg said, GameGuru already has LOD built in, but it requires the model to have LOD elements to work.

Already in the package.

Hello,

thank You for Your answers ))
that is very great !



-->> How do the different LOD-Elements have to be set up or named?
Like *LOD0.fpe ... *LOD1.fpe ... *LOD2.fpe ?

No, you don't need multiple fpe's.

Basically you create a model that is multiple copies of the same model as different objects with different levels of detail, each object should be appened with _LOD1 _LOD2 _LOD3 and so on.
So if you had an object called ball and 2 LODS then you would name them the following:

ball
ball_LOD1
ball_LOD2

You then export the model to .x (making sure ALL objects are selected for export).

Then in the FPE add the line LOD code (optional, for changing distances)



The in GameGuru when you test it should automatically switch between the two models depending on the distance set in the FPE
.
Here's a video of a test I made quite a while ago with the LOD system:


Here is Lee's official LOD video from when it was added:

Quick and easy Belidos! I like this very much.
I am compiling Data for a community tutorial PDF and will add this in the mix if you are okay with that?

Sure go for it, that is just the very basic principle, there's more than that depending on the software you use. I've added Lee's video from when it was released, that has a little more detail in it than my description.

(I also amended my previous post, I'd written a couple of things wrong because I was in a hurry)

Hello,

@ Belidos: Thank You alot for the great explanation and help
That is very kind of You and very helpfull to me

Best Regards,

You're welcome, hopefully I got it all right, I haven't bothered with LOD for quite a while, but I think I got it all down right and nothing's changed that I kow of.
