Skyrim LOD (level of detail) allows distant terrain, objects, and trees to be seen by the player even when the cells are not loaded, making exteriors in the game much more visually appealing and realistic. Tree LOD can also be rendered in object LOD by DynDOLOD.
IMPORTANT:
"pre-generated LOD"
Recommended DynDOLOD 3 'tree' mesh rules:
- Ultra: LOD4/Level0, LOD8/Level1, LOD16/Level2
- Performance: LOD4/Billboard4, LOD8/Billboard4, LOD16/Billboard(1) (looks VERY good and may be optimal for many)
NOTE: Use the Quality version of this mod if using these mesh rules, because performance cost is identicalNOTE: Because the base trees for Aspens Ablaze have high-poly custom crowns AND because the LOD models use these same crowns, the AA mod and the AA LOD provided here are performance taxing (upwards of a -20 FPS hit in the Rift). 2.32 versions are a bit more performance friendly than the 1.03 version. The only way to fix this is to reduce the poly count on the base tree crowns.
UPDATE: DoubleYouC created reduced-poly versions of the AA crowns in the LOD models used in this mod.
If using a 'Performance' version of this mod,:
treeaspen | LOD4/Level0 | LOD8/Level1 | LOD16/Billboard4
If using a legacy or 'Quality' version of this moe, a viable performance-friendly option for DynDOLOD 3 mesh rules that should give back a good deal of FPS in the Rift is to add a new tree rule for aspens. Simply use the following settings at each level for the mesh rule and copy the remainder from the default 'tree' mesh rule:
treeaspen | LOD4/Billboard4 | LOD8/Billboard4 | LOD16/Billboard1

Invalid XML: The element 'plugin' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'image, files, conditionFlags, typeDescriptor'. (Line 13, Pos 9)
This is a problem that Vortex devs should address, IMO.
I'm not prepared to install Vortex just to test this, so could someone please replace ModuleConfig.xml in the archive (fomod/ModuleConfig.xml) and let me know if this fixes it?
Turns out I had Vortex installed still from before the update. Adding the dummy tags resolves.Revised ModuleConfig.xml

Forgot to mention its for summer normal size version. If you open that mesh thera are two paths pointing to texture files that are not included. I corrected paths for that mesh (by watching how they looks for autumnal version) and now dyndolod generated lods without problems. I think only summer version has this problem, autumnal seems ok.
The texture paths should have pointed to the performance-optimized textures rather than the ones reported by DynDOLOD

Followed all the recommended settings by both this mod and what's on the STEP forums.
edit: fixed it by using performance version and changing LOD4 to Level0

Error: LOD billboard(s) not found. Check the log for the individual warning messages. Generate LOD billboards with TexGen first.
I installed this mod, ran TexGen, and am now trying to run DynDOLOD. Are there any pointers you could provide as to what I am doing incorrectly?
mod before running DynDOLOD.
Post on the DynDOLOD support forums if issues.
I am always starting new game. But the Riften location just won't load. It is stuck on loading screen.
Install this mod with the same options used to install AA main mod. Then run TexGen and DynDOLOD according to the standard process and place the output into a mod.
For DynDOLOD assistance, post on the DynDOLOD support forums linked in the OP with the logs required as indicated in that OP.
It works only when I disable this mod:
How I proceeded:
1) I disabled this mod.
2) Reinstalled Aspens Ablaze and installed the default LOD from the Aspens Ablaze FOMOD.
3) Then I ran TexGen
4) Then ran DynDOLOD.
= Then it works OK and 3D LOD with worse quality are displayed from AA mod.
All I can tell you is that this mod works without issue, so something in your methodology isn't right.
The only LOD that does not work is this one. It does not make sense.
And I proceeded according to the instructions that are stated on this mod webpage.
This is quite frustrating. Like from all things from modding the LODs are the most complicated and takes the most time. Even ENB with all things related did not take that much time. And there is not enough good explained tutorials that goes deeper in more details. No videos and almost no screenshots related on webpages concerning configurations. The basic dynd specification is enormous and often would need more explanation because there is plenty of things missing.
The second half of this comment does not belong here I guess. Sorry for that. I just feel like it is not worthy anymore.
I can tell you all that all the latest fu**ing configuration/instructions and guides are such a nonsense concerning Dynd3.
Don't trust the values that they advise you.
Even the two treeaspen mesh rules mentioned on this page weren't working for me as it should.
I had to delete the rule completely.
edit: Solved it. I picked the wrong color option in the FOMOD.
Billboard(1)mean? I see Billboard1, but no Billboard(1) which to me means negative 1. Thanks.
