This operation creates Level of Detail (LOD) groups for translucent meshes that lack them, optimizing rendering performance and reducing memory usage. By evaluating triangle density, it assigns each mesh to a suitable LOD group, ensuring efficient rendering while maintaining visual quality.

Usage Guidelines

• Dependencies
  • Run After: All Geometry Plugin optimization scripts to ensure all geometry modifications are completed.
  • Run Before: ‣ to prepare translucent meshes for rendering and optimization.
• LOD Assignment: Meshes are evaluated based on triangle density and assigned to appropriate LOD groups. Review assignments for high-detail assets to ensure they align with your visual and performance requirements.
• Project Scale: For large scenes, apply this operation in smaller batches to manage memory usage effectively.

Best Practices

• Prepare the Scene: Remove unnecessary duplicates and ensure all materials are configured correctly as opaque or translucent.
• Review Results: Check generated LOD groups for high-detail translucent assets to ensure they meet your project’s visual and performance standards.
• Backup Your Project: This operation modifies static mesh assets. Save a backup or use version control to prevent accidental changes.
