LOD Automation

Level of Detail (LOD) groups are essential for rendering complex scenes. They swap high-poly meshes for lower-poly versions as the camera moves away.

The Automation Engine

Performance Pro includes a powerful Mesh Simplification engine that generates LOD levels for you.

Features

• Auto-LOD Generation: Select a mesh and generate 3-4 LOD levels with specific decimation ratios (e.g., 50%, 25%, 10%).
• LOD Group Setup: Automatically creates the LODGroup component and assigns the generated meshes.
• Batch Processing: Select an entire folder of meshes and generate LODs for all of them at once.
• Smart Decimation: Preserves UV boundaries and hard edges to ensure visual quality even at low polygon counts.

When to use it

• Environment Props: Rocks, trees, buildings, and background items.
• Crowds: Low-poly versions of characters for distant views.

Pro Tip

For organic shapes like human faces, we recommend reviewing the generated LODs. Our tool is optimized for hard-surface environment props but can handle organic shapes with higher vertex retention settings.
