Hey guys, can someone please put me on the right path here. Below are two fuselages. The lower one is the basic LOD 1 P3 fuse and the upper one is my attempt to reduce polys by joining points. In reading the Aardvarks' description of this method they seem to be using something besides FSDS (Lightwave I think) because I cannot figure out any way to join polys other than joining their points. They say something about joining adjacent sides but I can't figure out how to do that. And the project statistics dialog box shows that these fuses have exactly the same number of polys.
If there is a method of joining polys in FSDS 3, I would sure like to know it. Help please.

Oh, that's interesting - it works! I never used that feature
If we are talking about LOD making that for complicated parts I just "wait" until have a LOD when change does not matter too much and then apply a new part completely don from scratch.
Here's an example of An-2 LODs philosophy:
If we are talking about LOD making that for complicated parts I just "wait" until have a LOD when change does not matter too much and then apply a new part completely don from scratch.
Here's an example of An-2 LODs philosophy:
Code: Select all
1 RWAI_An2_LOD_400 xxxx --- (or formerly WHITE _400_BOX part)
2 RWAI_An2_LOD_150 xxxx MAGENTA - lower poly tail + new engines (incl. formerly LOD_200 YELLOW - less poly wheels)
3 RWAI_An2_LOD_100 xxxx L_BLUE - new fuselage, new tail, new engines
4 RWAI_An2_LOD_075 xxxx SILVER - new fuse, engines, wing, horiz. tail, simpler wheels
5 RWAI_An2_LOD_035 xxxx GREEN - fuse very simple 4 sided, engines, vert tail (flaps,slats,gear doors removed)
6 RWAI_An2_LOD_015 xxxx RED - ultra simple 4 sided model
7 RWAI_An2_LOD_005 xxxx --- - very ultra simple paper model
