LOD generation tool
hey, i'm sure its been asked. but since forum search takes a minimum of 4 letters, and i couldnt find anything with my basic ( half lazy ) research.

here is the thing, i want to generate a LOD using the tool in the engine, but every time i create one, it comes empty ( 0 vtx, 0 tris )

i tried this with different obj, and still cannot figure it out, any one used it before and could help ?

thanks

RE: LOD generation tool
Do you mean inside the editor? I have no problem using it, I just click LOD, then in the blank spaces click New and change intensity etc.

RE: LOD generation tool
Just came to mind, can't remember if EE automatically converts quad to triangles, so if your objects are made up of quads instead of triangles that might be the problem?

RE: LOD generation tool
Quads and triangles are processed automatically.

Can you attach some screens or a sample project?

Because I never had a problem with LOD too.

mhhh might just have been a bug or some issue with my computer, today with the same asset, the LOD works perfectly.

yesterday at the bottom of the page the Quality was stuck on "Calculating..." and wasnt showing the %.

might have been my computer being tired, i did build a map earlier that day with the engine =p who knows !

i should have thought about restarting engine+computer, but i was more stuck on me missing a step than this pfft

Mhhh, actualy the problem persist, here some screen of the issue, it might be too big to use the LOD system ? 86k/74k.

RE: LOD generation tool
I think it's possible it just needs more time to finish processing, because it's a model with a lot of tris.
Don't press OK before it finishes calculating.
I'll update the editor to disable creating LOD's before calculation finished.

If you wait a few minutes, and still nothing happens, you can email me the model and I can take a look, but I really think it just needs more time.
