The Chop Handpainted Terrain Texture button, according to the wiki, allows you to 'build LOD terrain texture maps from a handpainted texture up to 8192x8192 in size'. Generate Terrain Textures is the button used for default terrain texture generation, and is the only option I will be covering in this tutorial (since I haven't tested the others). The next three buttons are used for generating the textures. This is the time and cpu-intensive process that seems to thwart a lot of people. The first button, Generate Terrain Meshes, is used to generate the landscape LOD meshes. This may reduce generation time by reducing the quality of the generated meshes.

I'll have to experiment with this function more to see if I can get it to do anything. Land Mesh Detail Adjust: I haven't figured out how (or if) the Land Mesh Detail Adjust works, but it appears to allow you to adjust the amount of detail (resolution) to use for generated meshes. (Unfortunately, for some reason, the display box is not large enough to display all of the information.) Details about the world space, including the number of cells contained within it, and the number of 'chunks' that will be generated appear in the small information box to the right. First, select the world space that you would like to generate LOD for from the column on the left. The World LOD dialog is very easy to use. The World LOD DialogĪll of the LOD functions for Fallout 3 can be found by selecting World -> World LOD. LOD generation problems can be very confusing if you have made user errors and run into Geck-related limitations at the same time and you don't understand the difference between them. This separates the procedural errors from the technical limitations of the process. When you understand the process, you will be able to quickly identify and resolve any mistakes you might have made in its execution.

Going through the process a couple of times will give you a better understanding of how it works and help you to avoid some of the headaches and stress that can result from a fear of causing permanent damage to a mod you have put a lot of time and effort into.

Tip: Do Trial Runs I highly recommend that you experiment with the LOD generation process on a test mod before attempting it with your active mod. LOD generation is not complicated, but it is time consuming and suffers from certain limitations which will be discussed below. In order to generate proper LOD for your mod, you must generate each of these four types of data.

visible while distant objects, like the Washington Monument.

In Fallout 3 and Oblivion, LOD is used in 4 principle areas: LOD techniques differ from game to game, but most 3D games use some form of LOD optimization. By reducing the visual quality of the object, it can reduce the processing overhead on the system and improve framerate and/or render more objects on-screen at the same time. The basic concept is simple: when the player is close to an object in-game, the game engine uses a high polygon count model and high resolution texture for maximum visual quality when the player moves away from the object, the engine replaces this model and texture with a lower polygon count model and lower resolution texture. LOD stands for Level of Detail, which is a technique which game engines use to optimize gameplay.
