Rover Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Hello everybody!!! Can anybody help me with this? I'm modeling some 3D files but, i have a doubt of one thing: When I open a INI file of an object (for example, an airfield) I read this: [LOD001] Filename=airfield1.lod Distance=5000 [LOD002] Filename=airfield1_lod002.lod Distance=10000 [LOD003] Filename=airfield1_lod003.lod Distance=20000 [LOD004] Filename=airfield1_lod004.lod Distance=30000 Wich diference have on each LOD file? Thanks a lot!!! Quote
Guest Saganuay82 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 lod stands for level of detail. So airfield1.lod is the most detail and it the one you will see when on top of the field and airfield1_lod004.lod is the one with the least detail. Distance=30000 tells the game when to turn on or off each lod for viewing. Quote
+Major Lee Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 LODs for greater distance should have progressively less detail and each LOD file should be smaller in size to reduce the load on the game system... Quote
