What is Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D Modeling? | Techniques & software

CG Spectrum

Level of detail can be accomplished through automatic processes built into relevant software or done manually, often by technical artists after the initial model is complete. Example of different LODs on a 3D model and where they would be used in relation to the camera (Image: arm Developer) Which software do you need to create LOD models?

Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This has been a major limitation in both the quality of lightmap baking and the ergonomics of the lightmap baking workflow.

How to Create a Game-Ready AAA asset

Logic Simplified

This is also a stage where you should not rush in order to get a perfect mesh flow. I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. A high poly mesh model of the gun came into being. With that I have to create a low poly model of the gun on which we will bake the high poly details. From scratch!’

Optimize Vegetation Generation

Mnenad

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Batching means to combine mesh objects that share the same material or that are marked as static in the Unity inspector. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

FBX importer rewritten for Godot 3.2.4 and later

Mircosoft Game Dev

I've worked in games for a while now, building upon general software development experience from electronics and RF equipment. It took us about 14 months to get a proper FBX importer working fully, since we had to engineer everything again: We rewrote all the mesh code to support all formats of FBX meshes correctly.
