You only need custom LODs if you need to place props or have automata go through within the standard LODs.
Thing behind the lods (outside them) will be (as Lee stated) handel by the alpha channel.

160 sides

sorry lee but what is the Xref??

vester · July 23, 2007, 11:21:19 AM

X-Ref: External reference

If you don't know it, you probably haven't used and don't have to worry about it.

As Vester says, the Xref is the external reference for the BAT camera and lighting Rig...if you need to delete any preexisting xrefs go to File > Xref Scene and click on the reference in the box and select delete. These can cause problems between Max and BAT, if the views are out of sync.

callagrafx · August 01, 2007, 12:34:14 AM

MG you need to select all of the windows and apply an overall UVW map to prevent the tiling, otherwise looking promising

kwakelaar · August 15, 2007, 02:29:06 PM

I think this strange round tower could make for a very interesting building, I quite like how you have made the base.

Imax London also a nice looking building.

mightygoose · August 17, 2007, 07:40:35 AM
