LOD problem.

[dennis]

hey all,

 

I have some models. but the problem now is that the are showing up the Low poly LOD stage immediately.

So all my round models are square now :\ really strange problem, can someone please help me out with that.

 

A screenshot:

 

And the LUA code I'm using (also tried without)

 

 

require("scripts/class")
require("scripts/constants/collision_const")
local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
	local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

object.model:SetLODDistance(5,0)
	object.model:SetLODDistance(10,1)


	object.model:SetKey("collisiontype", COLLISION_SCENE)

end

 

The naming convention for the models:

 

I hope someone could help, Cheers

Dennis

The naming convention is correct.

 

I think your problem may be that you are setting the LOD distance of your base model (LOD0) to 5m. Meaning that you'll only see LOD0 base model in 5m distance which your screen shot is actually closer.

 

Try replacing

object.model:SetLODDistance(5,0)
//with
object.model:SetLODDistance(0,0)

//or just delete the line all together 

 

Not sure if this is the actual problem. I have never set the LOD distance of the base mesh (LOD0) so I wouldn't know what happens. This is just my hunch.

make sure you also have model detail set to high in the editor.

Marley, I'm about to call you my hero ! that this little setting caused the problem. thanks it worked
