Illuminum said:Can anyone tell me what the purpose of lod's are? Very curious.
They're simpler versions of each mesh that appear when they're a certain distance from the camera. They render fewer polygons of stuff you can't even see, make distant objects look less messy, and allow more stuff in a scene without lag.
You'll usually only need lod2 and lod4 though.
Really high-poly yet relatively small meshes should consider a lod1 as well.
