LOD Generation

Quadify Premium generates multiple LOD copies of an object using predefined reduction profiles. Before running, the estimated output face count for each LOD level is shown as ≈N faces in the LOD Settings box.

LOD profiles

• Gentle — preserves shape for near-distance assets
• Balanced — typical reduction curve
• Aggressive — for distant props

LOD naming conventions

A naming convention dropdown controls how LOD objects are named:

• Unity — AssetName_LOD0, AssetName_LOD1, …
• Unreal — SM_AssetName_LOD0, SM_AssetName_LOD1, …
• Simple — sequential suffixes

Behavior

• Each LOD is created as a duplicate object and processed independently.
• Protected regions are respected when Semi-Manual Mode is enabled.
• LOD generation modifies the duplicated objects, not the original.
• Shape keys are stripped from LOD copies.
• Estimated face counts per level are shown before running — check these before committing to a profile on a high-value asset.

Rebuild Topology

For meshes where LOD 0 itself needs a topology overhaul before generating the LOD chain, use Rebuild Topology. It runs a full smooth remesh that follows surface curvature, producing clean quads. The Quad Density selector controls output density:

• Draft (25%), Medium (50%), Match (same as original), High (2×), Ultra (4×)

Rebuild Topology is destructive — UVs, materials, and shape keys are discarded. Run it before generating LODs, not after.
