Skyblivion LOD

Submitted by zilav on

Thanks to Ehamloptiran and his brand new outstanding lodgen tool, we now have a new awesome LOD!

Ignore ugly trees LOD (it is temporary) and landscape seems, shots are taken in free camera mode, hard to notice in real game.

Looking good zilav! so will this tool automatically churn out all the LOD needed? Great to see progress on Skyblivion anyway, can't wait for v0.2

@Zilav:
Just out of curiosity; where do the IC LOD building models and texture come from, as I remember correctly TES4 did not had LOD for those buildings?

It is all RAEVWD. As a bonus lodgen tool can read _far meshes in Oblivion format, so no conversions needed at all. Very handy if using custom mods that come with own lod models.

I'm so excited! Its been a year since I've first started following Skyblivion's progress and although its been slow (from a non-developer's perspective) I'm very grateful and hopeful to see this project finished and supported.

We probably will be. Most devs make LODs of the stuff they make now. I know Ravanna's Dwemer bridge has LOD. The thing Zilav and Ehamloptiran did with Skyblivion's LOD is pretty big. Ehamloptiran managed to find a way to add LOD to the game without the Creation Kit's limitation, this will actually help out a lot of modders. The Creation Kit has some limitations on the types of LOD you can add(not sure on the exact details), and they managed to find a way around it, hence what you're seeing now. They're actually working on a tool to help out with LOD.

Hmm well as long as we can get some rock LOD, especially for areas like Molag amur because it's weird looking into the distance and seeing round hills where there should be jagged rock formations.
