Hi

I was wondering how to go about creating LOD stages of a model in MED.
That would be a great help.Thanks already.

Usually that is done with the program that you made the model with, like 3dsmax. I think 3dsmax has an option with which you can lower the amount of polys your model has. Not sure though.

Yeah I know that there are options like "decimator" or something like that in 3dsmax but as my post says,I want to know how its done in MED.

I don't think MED has such an ability, as far as I know, but there is nothing wrong with waitimg for someone who knows. The thing in 3dsmax is called "Optimizer" on the "Modifiers" tab. Why does it have to be in MED? I found it to be a bit "limited" on the modelling side, but thats just my opinion. I know you need a license for 3dsmax, so I'm going to have a look at the SOFTIMAGE|XSI Mod Tool version 4.2, which is free and I here you can export to a usable format. Maybe it has the ability you are looking for.

Well, on opening MED I see an option in "Edit -> Manage level of details"
But the window that opens after that just has option of delete and nothing
else seems to be possible.I played aroudn with "groups" mode and I could
then see the different groups also displayed in the LOD manager,but after
that I just couldnt do anything .
Maybe this feature is still WIP ?

Hmmm, thats why mine does not even have that. You'll probably have to wait for another release, Betas don't always work. Does it work for anyone else?
