Lod Making question

Post » Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:03 am

Hi , its been a while since I did the last lods on skyrim and I need some memory refresher.

I can't find any tutorial , perhaps I shoudl have written one when I did know how to but now I do not want to waste endless hours looking for forums, posts, articles all around the web ...

I am not referring to the terrain lods, those I still remember ...

but the specific object lods ...

In particular Trees and LArge huge object visible only at distance ...

any ideas on what texture edit, what touch , what levels areneeded , etc ?

Any link to any direct tutorial on those specific lods?

What if I wanted to make "New mountains" so that work together with the actual skyrim mountains and their lods?

thanks for any info .

I didn't think custom lod objects and trees needed to worry about levels per se, most objects with lod seem to only have one lod mesh so I just used the same mesh for all levels and that seems to have worked out ok. To be safe I put any custom lod textures both in the Data\Textures folder where the lod object is pointing and the Source\TGATextures\LOD folder which i think the CK reads from when building object and tree lod. Lod gave me a lot of trouble for custom objects so I might be missing something here but I think that was it.
