This is poorly designed.

  • There is no up to date tutorial but a 6 years old completely unusable tutorial
  • Optimisation is so bad it gives you massive fps drop everytime yo want to use it, this is not a surprise it might be due to all the useless animations in the menu and stuff
  • Edit selection is bugged i can edit once per lod my lod distance and then if i want to change the value again it goes to 0.0 and stay there.
  • Auto LOD is as bad as the auto lod of unreal
  • The assistant is SO ANNOYING you have to disable it constantly
  • There are some popup all the time that disturb you to ask you useless thing that u can’t disable

I see NOTHING good AT ALL in this plugin.

Let’s add some more

  • When in the LOD coloration mode, sometimes the plugin bring you back to lit mode for no reason
  • The selection tool sometimes doesn’t work and unselect what you just selected
  • Almost all of the links in the page of the product lead to the same useless page despite the fact those links say it point to something else

Oh my god i’ve tried to use it all day and there are countless bugs and non sense, i wish i could get a refund but i can’t…
Even the thumbnail of the plugin is a poor tentative to make an illustration with AI and the D look like a C and the seller have not even tried a little bit.

Hi and sorry your going thru these issue’s. As for the tutorial series they will be up soon, at the moment there’s an overview video of V5.0 showing off some basic operations. if you where taken to an old video the link was in the description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgB2ikALlLQ

As for frame drops, you have been the first to experience this behavior, Can you possibly send a bit more info as to when this is occurring for you, your system specs, etc.. As for menu animation?? There not using any. But were here to help you get what ever issue your having resolved.

Not sure why it is not saving your settings as we have verified it on our end and even with a few of our clients as well & all seems to work fine.

As for the Assistant we have added an option which will allow you to disable it in the settings.
We are re-submitting an update to the marketplace.

For all support related to Easy LOD
You can contact us at istudiosdevsupt@gmail.com & we will help you resolve what ever issues you may be having as quick as possible. We do not issue support on this forum.

Okay yeah the links are wrong on the page that’s true

Well as soon as i select anything with the tool when i want to wander in my world (wich is 120fps) i have 10fps. i can’t tell you more than that.
I have an overpowered computer and never had any frame drop issues on anything that aint bugged.

The editor widget have animations, i don’t know how this is managed but you can see lights moving and buttons moving and fancy useless stuff, might be the problem i don’t know !

For the settings it’s simple, i want to edit the lod of the mesh and i have my 4 lods something like this
LOD 1 0.1
LOD 2 0.01
LOD 3 0.001
LOD 4 0.0001

Say i change the lod 4 to 0.0005 it’s working, say i change it again to 0.0004 then it goes directly to 0.0 and i cannot change it again nor anything else anywhere until i reload the engine. Tested it 5 times, on different computers, happen all the time.

As i said, the assistant disabled does not prevent pop ups saying " do you want to select EVERYTHING in your outliner ? every time i select something in the selecting menu.

I mean, i have 3 computers, i’ve tryed it on everyone on different project, i’m sorry but it’s difficult to be understanding considering that i have SO MANY problems in such an early using !
