Basically the title, I want to use the higher LODs because of the overall quality of the model, but due to performance reasons I want to use the hair from the lower LODs (not using the groom). If I just delete the groom hair, it will be gone at the higher LODs, but the lower LOD hair will also be gone. Any input here would be highly appreciated.
I think you should take a look at the LODSync component. It controls the LOD of each components. Under “Components to sync” you will find the Hair and its Sync option will probably be Passive. Change it to Drive, then add an element in Custom LODMapping, name it Hair and add 8 elements (one for each LOD). With this, you should be able to set the LOD of the hair for each LOD of the Metahuman.
I hope this helps and that the explainations aren’t too confusing.
