Question about LODS

Post by Tarranauha200 »

Are the LODS really supposed to be like in screenshots below? I just see things popping up when I walk. Something wrong with my system or it it just supposed to be that way?

Building changes its lightning even when you are this close.

Think its your GFX setting, especially if you don't have geometry set to high, some stuff may render incorrectly.

Turned geometry to high and cleared cache, not working.

Does this happen in many instances? It could just be a bad placement of the static which allows for really obvious lod switches (which weren't envisioned during the import process).

As for the shadows changing on the fly... is that a lightmapping thing?

When flying over muttarah I see things popping up all the time really. Dont really know if this started happening after new version of PR with new LOD settings or after installing new driver.

Video card is ATI radeon HD 5670(ASUS).

its normal, its how they work, lods arent elegant

its also the same in anygame, just some do a better job, hiding them with fog and so on
There is only one unforgivable lie That is the lie that says, This is the end, you are the conqueror, you have achieved it and now all that remains is to build walls higher and shelter behind them. Now, the lie says, the world is safe.? The Great Khan.

40k is deep like that.

I would argue that the land/civ vehicle LODs will be pretty darn elegant once they're updated to my values ;) (see my sig)

But yeah there is some stuff that definitely needs tweaking, things like this and clearly the buildings that Tarranauha200 pointed out.
