i want to Disable LODs completly becouse its messing with the lightmaper the lightmaper takes in consideration all the LOD models a the resolts is a mesk (Most of the times)like shadowy artifacts here an there and stuff.
take a look at my test level below check the LOD of the cube-sphere and bake with atleast one statick light in the scene you will see the shadow outline from the sphere baked to the cube.

As far as I know the only way to disable LOD is to get rid of the extra LOD meshes themselves. That or possibly set the distance for LOD change to be higher than the size of the map. That may not fix bake issues though.

Really doesn't use LM often, I've tried :

Quote: ";LOD System
disablebatch = 0
lod1distance = 200
lod2distance = 350
lod3distance = 450"


Notice, disablebatch = 0.

Don't know what's disablebatch exactly does, I got nice shadows, but a very odd ring shadows around the scene, as well.





Using 1 static light in scene, (range 300)

I've had the ring, but for me it surrounds the fp view, it only shows with Entity medium here

I've tried with:

Quote: ";LOD System
disablebatch = 1
lod1distance = 2500
lod2distance = 5000"


but it does not make the diference.

It looks like ring are not around the model, but the player itself, since if you move far away from the scene, the ring shadows follow you, and gradually disappears .
Is like LM taking into account the player and not only the model, at the time of projecting the shadow.

edit; using 1.141 and desktop.

Just open the mesh and delete the LOD groups.

I've tried with a non-LOD version of the same model, with not to avail.
Always works with LOD over a copy, so thus I can keep the original clean, just in case.

Ok, go to item properties and set LOD modifier = 100, and try. It works for me.
