ohhh that makes sense, Didnt know that

correct

Can search for some of my previous posts on this matter for more info and pics if you need but min has explained it pretty well

Its also how handheld weapons do their scope models, with the scope being geom0, lod1 and the normal 1p rifle model being geom0, lod0.

Hey guys, been on vacay since thursday, but im back and have some progress to update on. Still adding some stuff to the 1P, and I got to work on the main LODS


Do you guys want individual pics of every lod?

the numbers so far are

LOD0
4212 polys, 6456 tris

LOD1
3584 polys, 5598 tris

LOD2
2404 polys, 3910 tris

LOD3
920 poys, 1262 tris

I think the turret on LOD3 can be quite a bit simpler no? I suggest a LOD4 to that is pretty much a silhouette with only the main material on it. No tracks or anything like that.

I can't see much from your pics but antennas shouldn't be modelled on, they are added as child objects in the code with ones that are flexible etc and your final lod should be around 100 tris.

Its also not even worth mentioning polys, just talk about tris as at the end of the day all the polys are converted into tris on export and its a far more accurate measurement all together.

ok thanks, will do

moved from object (which is for statics) to modelling

Might be worth renaming it to "Statics" then

Your final LOD should be about 20% of what it currently is, but you could arguably have a LOD4. If you make your LOD2 closer too 3000tris [optimize the tracks, and the top of the turret], then push your LOD3 down a bit with the same kind of optimizations as LOD2, then you should be able to hit 200-300 tris for your LOD4 without an issue.

nice update!
