Ben Supnik Wrote:My hope with LOD is that with a little bit of work on a very small number of sub-parts, we could make a big difference. For examlpe, just by creating an octagon low-LOD stud, we could cut 90,112 vertices from every 32x32 baseplate - there are only 3 sub-parts that would need modification in this case. I think the strong factoring of the part library could be a big win here.

Hi Ben,
Creating every part multiple times for different LOD would be, in my opinion, pretty much impossible. However... there already exists an octagon level stud by requirement. You simply replace stud.dat by stu2.dat. Other stud parts have similar replacements.
