FNVLODGen

I will when I get the chance, I'm too busy with other projects right now to do it. Maybe Adonis can find the time, I'm falling behind on my own projects so I need to focus on them instead. I'm sure you can understand.

Released FO3LODGen on nexus.

Wrote a small script to check what other new _lod meshes Obsidian made for models from FO3, and included them in FO3LODGen resources. Here is the list if you interested http://pastebin.com/g6pGWGvR

Well that's cool. Thanks zilav.

Going through all the road meshes and lods I've found the following:

Solid/intact road meshes have solid LOD meshes

Single mesh broken roads have solid LOD meshes (not ideal obviously as it doesn't match)

Multi mesh broken roads have no LOD meshes.

Vanilla LOD meshes rarely have smaller "broken" parts, that's too much extra polygons. They usually try to reflect that on LOD textures.

Oh I understand that, I was just trying to figure out what Roy was seeing and which roads weren't having lods and why. It's just a case the devs not putting in alot of time for the broken road types, because even with mesh, the texture doesn't reflect the degredation.

That should be as easy as duplicating the mesh and editing the texture then.

Yes, there are meshes for each main type of road, curved, sloped, straight, intersection etc. Overlaying damage on the base texture should suffice for now.

There are 2 more LOD models on FNV which can be used in FO3 if retextured

meshes\architecture\retaining wall\rwendrstone01_nv_lod.nif

meshes\architecture\retaining wall\rwendlstone01_nv_lod.nif

If you remove '_nv' part they will almost match the relevant models in FO3

meshes\architecture\retaining wall\rwendrstone01.nif

meshes\architecture\retaining wall\rwendlstone01.nif

Cool, where are they used?
