If I try to change the LOD reduction value of an object in my scene to 20, it does not keep then new value. In fact any other value then 50 is just reseted back to 50 the next time I open the object dialog.


Is this normal?

Furthermore I can't see any difference when I move around my scene. How do I make sertain that the LOD settings are right?

Thanks

This has been fixed in a previous hotfix, and will be added to CE in the next update

We did some tests.

I entered the following LOD setting for my trees.

In oFusion I see no difference­. We loaded the scene into our ogre project and the number of polygon does not change. At any distance. When I export I export LODs and edge list (what is edge list doing?).

About distances, my max scene is setup in meters. Are the numbers in the LOD distance list meters also?

Thanks!

The Lod is in Ogre unit values
