KEY TOOLS

Customizable LOD tools

Users have complete control over the LOD generation process, allowing you to fine-tune the LOD’s to meet your project requirements. You can easily:

• Select the number of LOD’s in your project
• Choose the percentage of decimation for each LOD

Users can also achieve their desired mesh density using the tessellation settings for linear and angular deflection.

• Linear deflection: Adjust this setting to achieve the desired mesh density, finding the perfect balance between accuracy and performance.
• Angular deflection: Modify this setting to control the level of detail in curved surfaces, accurately capturing intricate shapes.

Smart LOD Generation

Although users can fully customize their LOD’s, Meshmatic ensures that your model remains accurate. The LOD generator automatically stops the reduction process if the model starts losing significant details, which could lead to deformities in your model.

• Advanced algorithms that preserve model geometry during LOD generation, maintaining model accuracy.
• Smart algorithms ensures the LOD generation process stops if the model loses too many details.

Detailed Analysis

After your file is optimized, you’ll be able to review the results of your file and the LOD’s.

• Accurate data on each LOD’s file size, along with information on node count, mesh count, face count, and vertex count.

Game Engine Ready

Game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine have specific configurations to manage LOD’s during the import process. Meshmatic’s LOD’s are compatible with both game engines.

• Unity LOD import setting: In Unity, the LOD import setting allows you to specify how LODs are imported and managed within the engine. This includes options such as LOD group creation, LOD group transition settings, and LOD fade mode. Unity provides a user-friendly interface to manage LODs and easily control their behavior in the game engine.
• Unreal Engine provides its own LOD import settings that determine how LODs are imported. Visit “Datasmith Export” page to learn more about Meshmatic’s UE LOD export options
