Applying #LOD modifier to Lingo created meshes

Applying #LOD modifier to Lingo created meshes

Is there a way to support the model.addmodifier(#lod) on models with meshes
created in Lingo?

Apparently it only works on .w3d imported models which must add some extra
data (perhaps just a reordering of vertices) to support the Multi-Resolution
Mesh (MRM) feature.

I've created some detailed procedural models in Lingo and would like to take
advantage of the smooth LOD changes of the MRM feature to improve run time
performance.

It seems like it should be possible to add the required data to the mesh in
Lingo.

Does anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks,

Brian
