Dain Shan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hm From the sound of your explanation that happens when you zoom the camera out? If yes then i think you see the LOD effekt. LOD or level of Detail is often mentioned with sculpts. Meshes have the same effekt in that regard There are 4 stages of LOD High, Medium, Low, Lowest. At each stage the mesh looses, when displayed on the screen, vertices and faces. Autogenerated LODs could have unfortunate effects on the mesh because an Algorythm decides which verts are pulled from the modell while rendering it on the screen. Unforseen deformations may be the result. You can influence this, by creating your own level of detail for each stage and upload it together with the High LOD Mesh.

Drongle McMahon Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If you are using the automatic LOD mesh generation, then I guess this will happen if parts of your mesh is actually made of unconnected pieces. Then the decimator (that makes the LOD meshes) regards them as separate doesn't know you don't want gaps between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ya know, I wish I could take one of you to Aditi and show you whats going on. Sigh I can't explain it. Also, I didn't group or merge this build. Does that make a difference? Building with AC3D program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
