Creating LoD models

Case study 2: Lesson 2 - Hidden faces

This is a short lesson.

Even in the simplest mesh model you often have superfluous vertices and polys, details that add to the complexity but not to the looks at all. In this case there are several polys hidden inside other elements, like these:



and these:



Get rid of them and the triangle count drops from 7358 to:



The LI - still with default automatic LoD, drops from 14.644 to 13.803:



Not bad for a few minutes of work.
