Whats a LOD?
LOD means Level of Detail, and is in this context a model duplicate inside a .p3d model, wich decides how high or low the viewable quality of the model should be at given ranges in the game.
<Resolution>
Defines which model to use, depending on in-game conditions (view-distance, number of objects, CPU utilization, etc.). Can be any value from 0.000 to 9999(what's the limit?).
Geometry
Defines where the model will collide with other objects.
Should be very simple, and has to fulfil the following criteria in order to work:
- Object must be named.
- Must have 'Mass' (Alt-M).
- Must be closed and convex (Validating Geometries).
Fire Geometry
Defines where the model will collide with bullets & rockets.
If this LOD is not present the Geometry LOD will be used instead.
Hit-points
Memory
Named Selections that are used to define lights, entry points, etc.
Paths
Roadway
LandContact
Where the object touches the ground. (Defined by single vertexes per contact point.)
ViewGeometry
