Title: strange LOD artifacts...
Post by: choco on March 26, 2009, 06:36:46 AM
hope this is the right place for this.... ::)

the problem is pretty apparent.  what you're looking at is mainly 3 pieces...the 2 end towers and the middle tower at zoom 3 i believe.  what strikes me as odd is that the end towers show fine in one orientation, yet shows this effect when rotated.  i've experimented with a couple different LODs, but its pretty painstaking as this model takes 2 hours to render.

if anyone may know what im doing wrong, im open to any suggestions.  :)

thanks!

If you can show a closer pic it might be more clear, but are you LODs skin tight?  Anything below "ground" level needs to have them that way.
