Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi. Noob :warning:

OK. there is this car with 3 LOD levels. LOD 0 is very high (~1000000 verts). LOD 2 is actually OK (~70k). Now how can I export the LOD 2 of the car only?

first, I copied the car asset and tried to delete LOD 0 but deleting, is only available on LOD 1 and above apparently.

on my second try I tried to export “LOD obj” from the file menu and I got nothing.

I can use “simplify” mesh ops though (to lower the vertex count and export), but its default LOD 2 is way better.

So, any ideas?

The only ‘easy’ way I know, is with a LOD plugin, like

I can’t see a way to do it in modelling mode.

tnx man. But currently I can’t buy any new plugin as this one is for sale.

Another thing you can do is export it as FBX, and then just use Blender to remove the LODs you don’t want…

Update: I just re-read this, and it didn’t make sense. Maybe what I meant was ‘copy the asset, and remove the LODs you don’t want, then export as FBX’.
