heck sometimes I'm standing there on a beta grid with something that holds it's shape from a distance with a low LOD and I can't remember what I did to get it just a minute before lol

er, I mean, low LI

you can keep the settings for the last one of a particular file.

(but if you tweak it afterwards, that will nuke it)

how?

i write myself notes as i go when testing

yeah, that's what I need to do

I used to be good about that with sculpts, and I stopped and have to keep going back to the beta grid to recreate stuff when I realize I don't know how I did it.

it's in...debug maybe, to turn it on. but you can have it save settings for a file, it'll make a second file that has it all across the board set up, LODs/physics/etc.

MeshImportUseSLM

set that to true and it will generate a .slm file with the same name as the .dae you uploaded, it will keep the settings across the board for that and use it when you upload that file again

(you can still tweak and change it, but it'll set everything up to start with)

awesome! Oh but, if you upload it multiple times (changing the LODs) will it overwrite it each time?

right, unless you have a separate renamed .dae file for each go

great, thank you!!!

it'll only keep the last settings for that particular file, so you still need to have the LAST one you upload on the beta grid be the one you want.

right, but that's generally the case, so that sounds like it will work well

(it would get too confusing to keep track and figure out which was which otherwise anyway!)

I mean, even when I realize that one I did before was better, I always go back and reupload that one to be sure

right

I've been making my own LODs but sometimes when I get tot he upload part, they are still too complex, and I end up letting the loader calculate the lowest one, just to get a low LI. I'm surprised how good a

i have a habit of making a .txt file while testing uploads and write in my settings and costs, too. i can compare each go then with the reference. it's an extra step, but not a huge one, so it hasn't been

hard to make myself do

job it does. It often preserves almost as much detail for far fewer vertices

but then when I get to the actual grid, I can't remember if the good one was one where I let it calculate an LOD, or maybe the mid, instead of the low or whatever.

it depends...a lot. sometimes the uploader is having a bad day it's rarely worth all the pain to go through for anything but lowest though anyway, considering what you have to do to do customs.

I'm a relatively organized person in rl. I just can't seem to get it together with mesh. My inventory is a mess. And I make things harder than they have to be by not keeping notes.

but I'm jazzed to have this option
