Levels of Detail (LOD)

Level of Detail (LOD) reduces a mesh’s detail as it moves away from the camera, improving game performance by decreasing the number of rendered polygons.

​

Base Mesh LODs

Use at least 3 LODs (High, Mid, Low) to ensure compatibility with most game engines. Start with the highest detail and work down for optimal results.

Establish a parent/child hierarchy for meshes in a top-down structure. This ensures proper organization and that all exported assets are correctly bound.

​

Collison Mesh LODs

For specific assets, consider providing both Convex and Mesh collision. Most game engines use these as default setups, allowing you to create different LOD versions accordingly.
