rdLODtools 4.24 - 4.27
A tool to create high performance, low poly LODs for static meshes.
rdLODtools is a UE4 plugin that resides in the Static Mesh Editor. It allows you to easily create Billboard, Planar, Cubic and TriSprite LODs. Billboard LODs can have up to 64 frames in a FlipBook giving a full, 360 degree view (or a range) of the mesh in just 2 or 4 triangles (v1.4 will have dual axis). Planar LODs can have 2-32 planes plus a top plane. Cubic LODs can be modeled to any shape and TriSprite LODs are 1 triangle.
Running rdLODtools over your meshes can speed up rendering by huge factors. These LODs can fill out your city buildings, Power/Light Poles, trees and foliage while also reducing your frame-rates.
Mesh Types that rdLODtools is most useful for are things such as:
- Trees
- Foliage
- Sky Scrapers and tall buildings
- Powerline Poles
- Traffic Lights
- Traffic Signs
