The Edit DNA LODs node
When to use it
Drops a DNA down to a subset of its own LODs, appends new LODs cloned from an existing one, or both in the same pass.
How to use it
- 1
Wire a DNA in
- 2
Keep LODs: list the LODs to keep, ascending, e.g. [0, 2] to keep only LOD 0 and LOD 2 (renumbered 0 and 1). Leave empty to keep every LOD
- 3
Add Cloned LODs: how many new LODs to append, each a byte-identical copy of Clone From LOD - "immediately valid, evaluates identically". Clone From LOD indexes the mesh after the keep-filter above, so -1 (the default) always means "the last LOD that survived the filter"
- 4
Press Apply LODs
A dropped LOD's own meshes, blendshape targets and LOD-only behavior rows are gone - re-adding it later starts from whatever the DNA looks like then, not from what was dropped.
Pins
| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
DNA |
DNA | The DNA to edit the LODs of. |
| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
DNA |
DNA | The DNA with its LODs edited. Empty until Apply LODs succeeds - never a partial file. |
Settings
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Keep LODs |
List of Whole number | LODs to keep, ascending, no duplicates. Empty (the default) keeps every LOD - Apply LODs then only appends clones, if any. Writable by the in-app agent but hidden from the ordinary properties rows. |
Add Cloned LODs |
Whole number | How many new LODs to append, each a clone of Clone From LOD. 0 skips the additive half entirely. |
Clone From LOD |
Whole number | Which LOD the appended clones copy, indexed after Keep LODs has already run. -1 means the last LOD that survived the keep-filter. |
